Elden Ring Steam Altergift

A world built for exploration and discovery

Elden Ring is FromSoftware's action RPG, published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, set in the Lands Between. Open fields packed with varied situations connect seamlessly into huge, three dimensional dungeons, so exploring the map is as much a source of tension and reward as any single fight.

The story is told in fragments rather than laid out plainly, with the various characters of the Lands Between each carrying their own thread of a larger, mythic drama. Players piece it together as they travel, rather than following a fixed narrative path.

Fans of action games and RPGs will recognise the shape of the genre here, though Elden Ring's scale and interconnected design set it apart from more linear entries in either category.

Shaping your own Tarnished

Character building goes beyond appearance. Weapons, armour and magic can be combined freely, letting a build lean towards raw strength, spellcasting, or something in between, and that build can shift as new equipment is found.

• Customise your character's appearance
• Mix and match weapons, armour and magic freely
• Develop strength for melee combat or invest in magic
• Multiplayer lets you travel directly with other players
• Asynchronous online elements give a sense of others in your world

How this listing works

This is the Standard edition of Elden Ring on Steam, supplied as an Altergift rather than a standard key. Instead of entering a code yourself, the game is sent to your Steam account as a gift and added directly to your library once accepted.

The listing activates worldwide, so it isn't tied to any single country's Steam store. If you'd rather activate specifically within Europe, the Europe region version of this same edition is also available.

Elden Ring released on 25 February 2022 and runs on Windows. It carries a PEGI 16 rating, reflecting the intensity of its combat.

Language support

The game supports a wide range of languages, covering English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Chinese and Thai, so most players will find their preferred language available at launch.
