Is Elden Ring down? Elden Ring server status

Even one of the biggest games around needs to go down from time to time. Elden Ring operates as an online game whether you play solo or look for other Tarnished to help or fight. Servers need to be maintained and as such, also need to be taken down to apply patches or repairs. So if you encounter that the Elden Ring servers are down, it’s good practice to check server status first before proceeding to more radical solutions.

Are Elden Ring servers down?

• Elden Ring servers are currently down for maintenance.

Elden Ring and by extension, Shadow of Erd Tree, servers are currently down for maintenance. There is a large patch being deployed, which results in a period when the service is offline. According to Elden Ring X account, maintenance will take place from 00:00 PDT / 9 am CEST / 4 pm JST and is planned to last for around 3 hours.

Why are the servers down?

Elden Ring servers could be taken offline due to maintenance, an error that needs to be addressed, patch updates, or many other reasons. The devs will most often communicate any such events through their social media platforms. If that is not the case, then not being able to connect could have a different potential reason. 

With that in mind, if the servers are up and you still can’t connect, check one of the following potential reasons:

• Check your internet connection.
• Update Elden Ring through your platform if there is a patch.
• Verify your game files.

The above solutions will help you troubleshoot the culprit behind being unable to connect to the server. If the problem persists, check the server status for any new updates that may have been announced.

How to check server status?

You can check the server status through Elden Rings’ social pages. The best place to stay up to date with new information about everything a Tarnished should know is through the official X account. However, there are currently no pages set up on usual status websites, like DownDetector. That means that following the official sources is the best idea, and meanwhile, we will keep this page up to date, so make sure to check back to get server status updates.
