Elden Ring Patch 1.06 Explained

Elden Ring developers FromSoftware have just released the newest patch to the hit open-world title. This update focuses on a few new features, several balance changes, and plenty of bug fixes. These quality of life improvements aren't designed to drastically change the game like a League of Legends or TFT patch, rather these improvements are more meant to rough out the edges while keeping things relatively similar.

These patch notes come from the official Bandai Namco website, and the changes are coming to all platforms Elden Ring is available on.
