If you can beat Elden’s Ring first boss, then you can beat the whole game. Also, don’t worry if you’re finding the first boss encounter a little difficult. If you’re currently about to embark on your own Elden Ring playthrough, we’ve got a range of tips to help you survive. Right now, it definitely appears to be the superior console platform. But if you have the choice to play on PS5 you absolutely should. As noted, I’m personally exploring the Lands Between on Xbox Series X and having a blast regardless. If you’ve only access to an Xbox console, this issue is by no means a deal breaker. The PS5 may come with less native storage space than the Xbox Series X (825GB vs 1TB), but the drive in Sony’s console can manage speeds of 5.5GB per second which is double that of Microsoft's flagship Xbox which clocks in at around 2.4GB per second. This difference in loading speeds really showcases the power of the PS5’s custom SSD. It’s also a factor when fast travelling across the map, which is something you’ll also do regularly in Elden Ring. This loading discrepancy becomes a real pain when you’re attempting to beat a challenging boss and dying at a regular clip. Unlike say Dying Light 2 Stay Human, where you could conceivably go lengthy stretches without seeing a single loading screen, in Elden Ring you’ll die frequently, and upon each death you'll be greeted with another period of loading.Įach death being paired with 20 seconds of loading feels like an extra punishment on Xbox Series X. Loading speeds of roughly 20 seconds might not sound like a particularly big deal, especially when on PS4 and Xbox One loading times could exceed a full minute in some large open world games, however Elden Ring is a game where death is a constant. I spent my weekend diving into Elden Ring on Xbox Series X and can confirm that I experienced around 19 seconds of loading to boot the game from the main menu, and average loading speeds of 12 seconds to get back into the fray after a death.
