'Elden Ring' Pre-Order and Early Access
Note that fans who pre-ordered the game will enjoy a 48-hour early access benefit from the aforementioned schedule. The early access privilege is available for Steam, PlayStation and Xbox.
Players are recommended to prepare their gaming setup an hour before the release schedule. Players should also ensure that their internet connection is stable and their gaming setup is fully loaded to the latest version so they can quickly enjoy "Elden Ring" the moment it goes live.
Lastly, fans who are interested in the game should know that "Elden Ring" does not support crossplay, per GameSpot. This means friends who are registered to the PC version can't party up with others on Xbox and PlayStation. Unfortunately, developers have yet to announce any plans related to this feature.
