Elden Ring has received a new update. Patch 1.05 went live on all platforms on Monday. Though it’s not the most exciting, it does include a few neat additions, alongside several bug fixes.
The update was preceded by a three-hour maintenance on all platforms, and installing it is required to access the game’s online environment for passive multiplayer (messages etc.) as well as co-op and PvP.
One of the biggest new additions in the update is that Bell Bearings, which unlock upgrade materials and other crucial items for purchase at the Twin Maiden Husks, now carry over into New Game Plus, meaning you only need to find them once to have them forever.
