FromSoftware’s Elden Ring has been out and about, garnering over 764,000 peak concurrent players at launch on Steam. It also received tons of critical acclaim; you can check out our review here for more details. There have been some issues such as performance issues on all platforms. The PC version is the worst with micro-stutters and frame rate issues, but fixes are on the way. However, it seems that Xbox gamers have a completely different issue that has yet to be officially acknowledged. Due to a version mismatch on Xbox Live, some users are unable to go online for messaging, co-op, or PvP. As Jez Corden of Windows Central reports, the issue boils down to Calibrations Ver. 1.0.2.1 and application version. 1.02: Those without these updates cannot play online. According to this Reddit post, the issue has been present since launch. Given how important online features are to an experience like this, Bandai Namco and FromSoftware will likely provide an answer soon. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
