Elden Ring Is Receiving Mixed Reviews On Steam Due To Performance Issues
While critics and users alike are heaping praise onto Elden Ring, the game's Steam reviews paint it in a very different light. While some PC gamers have been able to run Elden Ring without any problems on their systems, other players have reported experiencing serious performance issues.
FromSoftware has been very proud of the game so far and understandably so, as Elden Ring has been receiving perfect review scores across the board. The praise the game has received with regards to its gameplay, story, and mechanics seems to be justified, however, the game's performance issues across all platforms seem to be affecting the game's image in the eyes of the public.

PC players are not the only ones experiencing performance issues, as Elden Ring is reportedly struggling to hit 60 FPS on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
