The free Elden Ring Colosseum update is releasing today, 7th December, and it has brought with it a brand new PvP mode that everyone can take part in. This 1.08 update is bringing the goods to the open-world RPG and represents the largest addition made to the game since its release back in February 2022.

The primary addition of the Colosseum multiplayer mode is enough of a reason to head back into the unforgiving realms of Bandai Namco and FromSoftware’s magnum opus. It won’t be the only thing that is part of the 1.08 update, though, as there are bound to be a couple of balance tweaks and potential bug fixes applied at least.

Read on to discover everything there is to know about the new Elden Ring multiplayer Colosseum DLC, including its release time, what it is exactly, and a complete list of patch notes.

What time is the Elden Ring update today?

Following an hour of server downtime, the Elden Ring Colosseum update should have gone live on or around 10am here in the UK. This means that you should now be able to go onto your Xbox, PlayStation, or Steam launcher and download/install the update right now.

The update should be live now, anyway, following the roughly hour-long period of downtime as detailed on the official Twitter account:

The #ELDENRING servers will undergo maintenance today, December 7, 2022, in preparation for the Colosseum update.

The estimated down time is around one hour for all game platforms.

Maintenance will begin at 1:00 AM PDT | 10:00 CEST | 18:00 JST.

Thank you for your patience.
