Play Elden Ring on PlayStation 5, not Xbox Series X.
Everybody in the gaming industry appears to be enamoured with Elden Ring at the moment. FromSoftware’s newest action RPG is both intriguing and challenging, and for good reason. Consider the PS5 if you haven’t already, since Sony’s flagship platform offers a significant edge over the Xbox Series X.
On both next-generation platforms, Elden Ring suffers from obvious framerate drops, yet the loading durations are vastly different. IGN’s performance evaluation video reveals that PS5 gamers will spend less time gazing at loading screen hints than those who play on Xbox Series X consoles.
Players on Xbox Series X might be thrown back into action after as much as 20 seconds of loading time, according to IGN’s tests on both PS5 and Xbox Series X.
It took me around 19 seconds to boot up Elden Ring from the Xbox Series X main menu, and it took an average of 12 seconds to re-enter the battle following a death in my testing.
Elden Ring is a game where death is a constant, and loading rates of about 20 seconds may not seem like a huge problem, especially considering on PS4 and Xbox One loading times might approach a full minute in certain major open world titles. There are a lot of loading screens to deal with in Elden Ring, unlike in Dying Light 2 Stay Human, where you may go for long periods of time without seeing a loading screen.
On Xbox Series X, each death is accompanied by a 20-second delay in loading. When you’re trying to fight a tough boss and dying often, this loading disparity becomes a huge annoyance.. Fast movement across the map is also a factor in Elden Ring, where you’ll find yourself doing so often.
This discrepancy in loading times is a great example of the custom SSD’s power. Despite the fact that the PS5 has 825GB of built-in storage, the drive in Sony’s system is capable of 5.5GB per second, which is twice as fast as Microsoft’s top-of-the-line Xbox.
This problem isn’t a deal breaker if you only have access to an Xbox. On Xbox Series X, I’m having a great time exploring the Lands Between. You should, however, if you have the opportunity, play on PS5. It looks to be the better console platform at the moment.
The following advice will benefit you if you’re preparing to go on your own Elden Ring playing. Also, if you’re having trouble defeating the initial boss, don’t be discouraged. You can complete the game if you can defeat the first boss, Elden’s Ring. Remember that patience is the key to conquering a difficult Souls-like game. source
