Elden Ring has a narrow scope for co-op multiplayer that puts a lot of restrictions on the player regarding the gameplay and the host/join function. But what if I tell you there is a way to get rid of all these troubles and enjoy a perfectly smooth Elden Ring multiplayer experience.
Creator LukeYui recently launched the seamless co-op mod’s beta version on the NexusMods platform. This mod not only removes the unnecessary hassle around the host/join function but also allows different players to play together throughout the entire storyline of the Elden Ring and respawn immediately in the same world after death.
