radiotimes.com:

If you're new to the game following the excitement of its massive Shadow of the Erdtree DLC or need some help in unlocking it by defeating Mohg with others, you'll want to know everything there is to know about Elden Ring multiplayer.

Some of the toughest bosses around lie in wait in FromSoftware's open-world masterpiece, with even tougher ones ready to bring the pain in its DLC.

That's where co-op comes in.

While they do level up against more than one of you, it is still a welcoming idea that you can rope a friend into jumping in and helping you on your quest.

Co-op's in, nice, but what about crossplay? Is there any kind of PvP mode?

We're here to let you know all the answers to all these questions. Read on to have Elden Ring multiplayer, co-op, PvP and crossplay features explained.

Does Elden Ring have multiplayer? Yes it does, much like the Dark Souls games that FromSoftware made before. How does Elden Ring multiplayer work? Read on to find out!

These are the main Elden Ring multiplayer details you need to know: the game has an online co-op experience where you can team up with other players against powerful enemies (PvE), and it also has an online player-versus-player experience (PvP), but the game does not feature any local/offline types of multiplayer gameplay.

You will unlock the ability to access Elden Ring's online multiplayer very early on in the game (as soon as you've finished the brief tutorial, basically). Assuming you're online and connected to the game's server, you should be able to select 'Multiplayer' from the in-game menu and pick from a range of options. You'll need items to unlock certain multiplayer methods, though.
