Elden Ring Update 1.26

FromSoftware has released a minor update for Elden Ring on all platforms this October 20, and it should be live now as part of today’s downtime.

The servers for the Souls-like game have been taken down on October 20, and this is to roll out Elden Ring update 1.26.

Read on for the known issues and other tidbits of info from today’s patch.

Elden Ring Receives Update 1.26 But Not the Tarnished Edition

First off, the maintenance period starts at 12:00 am PDT/3 am PDT/4 pm JST/9 am CEST and ends after three hours.

Of course, this could go on longer, but generally, FromSoftware sticks to their downtime schedule.

As for the patch, it should be a minor one, and we have a pretty good idea what’s being fixed. There is a known glitch/exploit spotted fairly recently that messes up PvP encounters in Elden Ring.

This bug allowed, Thanks to Arrow rain paired with Pique arrows, to instantly build up any status after a single hit. As you can see, this could very much mess up PvP fights.

So far, FromSoftware hasn’t released the patch notes, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this is included in the changelog.

Stay tuned to this article, as we’ll update it once the official changelog is live.
