Elden Ring on PS5 – The Only Way to Truly Embrace The Lands Between

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a FromSoftware superfan and soulsborne addict, my anticipation for Elden Ring reached stratospheric levels ever since its reveal. Now having plunged countless hours into exploring the rich intricacy of The Lands Between, I can decisively proclaim the PlayStation 5 version of Elden Ring as the definitive choice for Tarnished owners of Sony‘s heavy black monolith. Simply put – the PS5 enhances FromSoftware‘s sought-after formula to new visual and performance heights while retaining the precise and punishing combat dance the studio excels at. Those seeking out the Elden Ring ideal need look no further than PS5.

Booting up Elden Ring on my cherished PS5, I was immediately taken aback by a level of visual splendor unmatched in FromSoftware‘s catalog. The Lands Between come to life in striking 4K clarity, with lush vistas spanning gracefully into the horizon. Granular details in armor sets and weaponry add nuance to their designs, from the custom etched filigree adorning the famed Moonlight Greatsword to the realistic cloth simulation on previously low-texture rags. These visual enhancements permeate throughout the experience thanks to PS5‘s consistently unwavering 60 frames-per-second output in all modes.

My first few steps outside the Stranded Graveyard bathed in resplendent rays of light as particles danced freely amongst the overgrown fauna. Stepping into open world environments on PS5 proves to be an unforgettable revelation compared to PS4‘s more enclosed progression. Traversing the interconnected lands of Elden Ring with buttery-smooth FPS empowers exploration, as I no longer feel constrained admiring the view or carefully dissecting each intricately designed landmark. Even displaying on my entry-level 4K screen, no PS4 game to date matches this level of clarity or attention to detail at a foundational level.

Venturing further between memorial sites of grace, the benefits of PS5‘s ultra-high speed solid state drive manifest plainly. Jumping between discovered map fragments takes mere seconds now, ditching the immersion-breaking 30+ second loads from my launch day PS4. I can freely teleport across vast expanses to grab a few more smithing stones or chase down an intriguing NPC storyline without wasting time staring at loading icons. This proves especially useful when grouping up with friends for some jolly cooperation.

…

Overall, while PS4 delivers an impeccable Elden Ring experience in its own right, I simply can‘t go back after witnessing FromSoftware‘s opus fully unlocked on PS5. It hits all the integral pillars – stellar visuals, unwavering performance, ultra-fast loading, heightened immersion. As a life-long souls fanatic, playing the latest FromSoftware biopsy on PS5 stands out as a watershed gaming moment for me. I urge all prospective Tarnished to seek out this version at their earliest convenience. The Lands Between beckon brightest on PS5.
