Elden Ring gets huge quality-of-life features patch right before Shadow of the Erdtree, including an inventory change I've wanted for years
The day before Shadow of the Erdtree launches next week, Elden Ring will receive a recent patch with some significant quality-of-life features, including an inventory modify that denotes all new items.
FromSoftware just announced that Elden Chime will get a new update next week on June 20, the day before Shadow of the Erdtree's launch (don't fail to remember you need to defeat Mohg in Elden Ring if you're planning on jumping in). As seen below, one of the big features of the recent patch is that "newly obtained items will be marked with a '!'" and a logo new inventory tab called 'Recent Items' will also be added for players to see all the recent spoils they've acquired.

Elden Ring's pre-Erdtree patch makes a big, surprise quality-of-life change: You can finally summon Torrent for the final fight against the big boss
Elden Ring's big pre-Shadow of the Erdtree update is now live, and one of the biggest changes is one that wasn't previously teased: Yes, it's true, you can now summon Torrent for the final fight against the Elden Beast.
Torrent enables significantly increased mobility during combat—horses, even weird magic ones, are a lot faster than people—and an awful lot of players really felt its absence during the climactic battle, which takes place in a large, open arena against a highly mobile boss. That's reflected in the immediate positive reaction to the change, which was casually noted in a single line stuffed in the middle of the "new inventory features" section.
Interestingly, some players said the change isn't so much a nerf of the Elden Beast fight, but just a quality of life change. "It doesn't make the fight easier just less annoying to keep running around everywhere," redditor SirSabza wrote. "With how big Elden Beast is I'd rather not get knocked off my horse every 5 seconds."

We unfortunately don't have any details on how Nightr With Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware has done something bold by fusing familiar content from past games with new mechanics to create a fresh experience. It’s a different kind of Soulslike—still punishing, still mysterious, but wrapped in a roguelike format that demands adaptability. But after spending over 100 hours in the game, it’s clear that some ideas were either scrapped midway or never fully thought through. That’s why I wanted to take a moment to highlight a few concerns. With the right quality-of-life updates, Nightreign could go from alright to great. Also, if you haven’t checked out our review of Elden Ring Nightreign, be sure to give it a read. It’ll give you a better idea of why I’m pointing out these specific suggestions. I know, I know. Half of the internet has been screaming the same thing: why the hell doesn’t Elden Ring Nightreign have crossplay? It’s a damn good question, and not just because it’s a buzzword. We’ve all seen the benefits in games that do support it—longer lifespans, stronger communities, and no more rebuying games on different platforms just to play with friends. Crossplay removes the walls and The day before Shadow of the Erdtree launches next week, Elden Ring will receive a new patch with some significant quality-of-life features, including an inventory change that denotes all new items. FromSoftware just announced that Elden Ring will get a new update next week on June 20, the day before Shadow of the Erdtree's launch. As seen below, one of the big features of the new patch is that "newly obtained items will be marked with a '!'" and a brand new inventory tab called 'Recent Items' will also be added for players to see all the recent spoils they've acquired. This is a huge feature for a FromSoftware game, and it's somewhat surprising that it's taken Elden Ring so long to receive a Recent Items inventory tab. You've always had to memorize the name of a new item you've received if you want to inspect it in your inventory later on, and if you acquire an item in the heat of battle, it can be oddly hard to remember its name.
