A new Elden Ring update is now available for download on PS5 and PS4, bringing the game to version 1.06. The biggest addition it makes is that you can send your summons to summon pools in many different areas, increasing your chances of being picked by another player. The official patch notes reveal how you can even send them to “distant areas” so you don’t have to worry about being in a specific place to be summoned.
Elsewhere, patch 1.06 allows you to advance White Mask Varre’s questline by killing a new NPC rather than invading another player. Invasions have also been expanded so that you can “invade a wider area, including distant areas”. Furthermore, balance changes are underway for Greatswords, Curved Greatswords, and Great Hammers.
