This also means the PC wouldn’t be as restricted as the PlayStation or Xbox consoles you don’t have to pay to play PC games that require an internet connection.

Now, Bandai Namco would utilize authentication and matchmaking servers while your consoles and PC handle hosting duties it would be cheaper, plus less overhead. If they hosted servers for each platform, that would end up costing them a pretty penny. In all likelihood, Elden Ring will utilize the same system as Dark Souls does due to the cost savings and less maintenance. Everything else in Dark Souls was handled by Peer to Peer (P2P), meaning your console or PC handled the hosting duties. With the Dark Souls games, things were changed to handle authentication (logging in and restricting you if you were caught cheating) and handling matchmaking duties. That said, it could work one of two ways It could work like Demon’s Souls, where there are dedicated servers that players were required to log into as this influenced the World Tendency. Now, we don’t know how Elden Ring is going to work as Fromsoftware hasn’t said anything as of yet. So, this is more speculation than usual, but let’s run with this, ok? Perhaps there’s little to no need to test the PC version of Elden Ring when it comes to the networking bits. They don’t need to test the PC networking. But when it’s not, and other are bugs and glitches everywhere, people will take to Twitter and Reddit to let the entire world know. If the demo is amazing, it works out in a developer’s favor. Sadly, when people see a demo, some consider it early access or a representation of the final build. If the PC version isn’t ready, or at the point where Fromsoftware wants to show the PC version off, they won’t do it. Granted a much smaller beta than we’re used to, but it is a demo nonetheless. While the Elden Ring network test is basically Fromsoftware and Bandai Namco performing a test to see just how well the networking piece on the console performs under pressure, in the end, it’s still a demo. When it comes to Elden Ring, it very well could be that the PC version isn’t as far along in development as the console version. But that doesn’t mean that the PC version of any specific game is the main focus. When it comes to developing games, sure developers use PCs to get the work done. Maybe the PC version isn’t as far along as the console versions.
Of course, I’m not privy to why this is, but that’s never stopped me from speculating before, and I think I have three good ideas for why the PC is absent from the network test. However, after looking on Twitter and Reddit, it seems that there are quite a few who don’t get why the PC is being left out. Now, while I typically get frustrated when the PC is left out of demos and beta tests, I understand why that’s happening. However, as you may have noticed, the PC is not included in the Elden Ring closed network test. While the game has been delayed for another month, Bandi Namco surprised us with news of the upcoming network test available for the PlayStation and Xbox platforms. A game that I’ve been waiting to get my grubby hands on for quite some time.
