Elden Ring does have an in-game “pause feature” in any case, in the event you mess with menus

FromSoftware’s video games are so brutal that they don’t even allow you to pause the motion. If it’s good to cease and take a breath, seize a drink or a snack, it’s good to just be sure you are properly and actually protected and nowhere close to any enemies. That, or simply stop the game.

Elden Ring isn’t any completely different and whereas it has been praised for its problem, there are some who yearn for a conventional pause function. There’s even a PC mod that provides one, though console gamers are out of luck — not less than till now. It seems there’s a technique to pause the game with out quitting it or putting in a mod.

As demonstrated by consumer Iron Pineapple on Twitter, whereas it requires a little bit of menu navigation, it’s nonetheless fairly easy to do. Just open your stock and choose Menu Exploration. Doing so will carry the game to a whole halt. So, even in the event you’re being pursued by enemies, you may pull this off and never fear about being unceremoniously killed within the meantime.

It’s potential that that is an oversight on FromSoftware’s half and it’ll patch it out at a later date, because it does go in opposition to the complete level of the game. Speaking of future updates, it’s believed Elden Ring will obtain DLC after a participant managed to get into the Limgrave Colosseum, an in any other case inaccessible space, sparking theories of it getting used for PvP fight.
