Needless to say, games such as Elden Ring are meant to be played at higher FPS in order to enjoy the visually impressive graphics. But unfortunately, the majority of players (even those with high-end devices) are struggling with frame drop issues, and are unable to unlock FPS. To help you sort out the issue, here is a beginner's guide on how to unlock FPS in Elden Ring.
According to the developers, the FPS of the game is usually around 60. But, during intense fighting scenes, it tends to drop significantly. However, we have the exact steps to help you out, so make sure you follow them carefully.
Do note, these steps to unlock FPS in Elden Ring are for PC only, and are not available on platforms including Xbox and PlayStation. As these consoles don’t allow any further customization at this time.
How to unlock FPS in Elden Ring?
Before proceeding to any types of modifications, it's best to run through all the in-game settings of Elden Ring. To do this, head over to the Settings tab and check out the Graphics section. For the most ease, you'll want to ensure that all the settings are set to Maximum.
Upon changing all the Graphics settings to Maximum, the game will be locked at 60 FPS, which is the maximum FPS attainable on PC (it is set by FromSoftware as the default).
If you're looking for further tweaks in addition to the settings changes listed above, follow along for supplementary steps to unlock FPS in Elden Ring. Remember, these will be PC-specific instructions to improve visuals and prevent stuttering and frame dropping.
