The most recent ‘soulslike’ game from FromSoftware itself has given a lot to talk about recently. It has not only produced mixed reviews on platforms like Steambut there has also been discussion about possible new content. The talks around Elden Ring follow, because players discovered a simple way to be able to pause it.
Since the release of Demon’s Soulsall FromSoftware games have had two very special things in common: the first is that they are very difficult and the second is that it is impossible to pause them at any time
Elden Ring is no exception. From the beginning we knew that she was going to behave like any Dark Souls and that pausing would be a utopia. Therefore, special mods have been created to enable a pause in the game, something that could bring a FromSoftware crash.
Surprising as it may seem, however, one player came up with a very simple way to freeze all action immediately if needed. The option is within the game itself and there is no need to install any mod.
How can you pause Elden Ring?
If you are interested in pausing, the first thing you have to do is open the inventory. Next, you need to press the button on your controller that will take you to the “Help” section (on Xbox it’s the View button).
Next, it is necessary to select the option «Explanatory menu». Doing this practically pauses the game, as it stops everything to give you a tutorial on how the menu works. If you do the process fast enough, you’ll be able to pause without getting hit by any enemies.
