Elding Ring Update 1.08.1 has been rolled out across all platforms, fixing some unintended changes that come with last week's 1.08 Colosseum update.

　　The free Colosseum update was released on December 6. This update focused on Player-versus-Player (PvP) combat in the arenas, but apparently, this patch also introduced some issues that weren't intended. As such, Bandai Namco has now rolled out a new update that fixes these issues, including a bug that prevented other players' positions from being displayed correctly on the compass. We've included the patch notes, as released by Bandai Namco and FromSoftware down below:

Game changes

　　"When it comes to From Software games, the one completely new exploration mechanic is horse riding, a necessity with an open-world game. Soon after starting the game, players will obtain the Spectral Steed Whistle and thus the means to summon Torrent and further explore the Lands Between. Horse riding feels incredibly smooth and responsive and is a highly welcome addition to the formula, not only for exploration but also for combat situations. Some of the enemies and bosses you will encounter during the game use mounts as well, leading to some intense combat sequences that are truly epic. To make an example, I was fighting the Tree Sentinel boss (who can be fought right from the start of the game). After a grueling fight, I managed to take down the boss's health to near death. Out of Sacred Flask uses, I started charging the boss, risking everything on my next strike, and he does the same while it suddenly starts to rain. It's these small touches of open world design that elevate Elden Ring to a whole other level."
