Can PlayStation Network Play Elden Ring?

The wait is almost over for gamers eagerly anticipating the release of Elden Ring, the highly-anticipated action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware, the creators of the Dark Souls series and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. With its cinematic trailer and stunning gameplay demo, Elden Ring has generated significant buzz among gamers and industry experts alike.

As one of the most highly-anticipated games of the year, Elden Ring is expected to be a massive hit upon its release. But, one question on many gamers’ minds is whether it will be available on the PlayStation Network (PSN). In this article, we’ll dive into the details and provide an update on whether PSN will play host to Elden Ring.

What is Elden Ring?

For those unfamiliar, Elden Ring is an action role-playing game set in a vast, interconnected world inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. Players will take on the role of a Tarnished, a cursed being tasked with exploring the world, uncovering its secrets, and battling against fearsome foes to claim the Elden Ring, a powerful artifact.

Will Elden Ring be available on PSN?

In a recent interview with IGN, Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed that the game will not be available on PSN, at least initially. When asked about the game’s release plans, Miyazaki stated, “We haven’t announced any information on PSN. For now, we’re focusing on the PC and consoles.”

However, it’s worth noting that Miyazaki also hinted at the possibility of a PSN version arriving later, stating, “Of course, as time goes on, we’ll consider other platforms.”

Why the absence from PSN?

According to Miyazaki, the decision to launch Elden Ring on PC and consoles (but not PSN) is a strategic one, aimed at ensuring a smoother, more stable gaming experience for players. “We want to focus on the quality of the game, and by releasing it on PC and consoles, we can pour all our resources into making it the best game it can be,” Miyazaki explained.

Conclusion

While it may be disappointing news for PSN fans, the absence of Elden Ring from the PlayStation Network is likely a temporary measure aimed at ensuring the game’s quality and stability. We can expect to see a PSN release in the future, although an official announcement has yet to be made.

In the meantime, gamers can rest assured that Elden Ring will be available on PC and consoles, offering a thrilling gaming experience like no other. With its rich storyline, stunning visuals, and challenging gameplay, Elden Ring is sure to be a hit among gamers upon its release.
