The action RPG, Elden Ring was launched on February 22, 2022, and released for PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Microsoft Windows. Elden Ring hasn’t seen a new patch ever since version 1.05 was released for all platforms in early June. But today, we have some great news for Elden Ring fans as the latest 1.06 Patch is now live and brings along a hell of a lot of things!
