The free Elden Ring Colosseum DLC is now available to play, and there is no cross-platform or crossplay involved but there are differences between the PvP multiplayer modes
Elden Ring is one of the best games of the year and is one of the game awards 2022 nominees for GOTY. However, when it comes to fan vote, it is currently being crushed by both Genshin Impact and Sonic Frontiers.
While we only have to wait a couple of days to see if it wins the coveted GOTY, today we can all enjoy FromSoftware’s multiplayer update.
Is Elden Ring PVP Multiplayer Crossplay And Cross Platform And Colosseum Update DLC Explained
For the PvP Colosseum DLC, Elden Ring does not allow cross-platform multiplayer on PS4/PS5, Xbox, or PC because it is not crossplay.
The game is cross-gen, which is fantastic news since there isn’t any cross-platform gaming. This implies that PS4 can compete with PS5, and Xbox One can compete with Series X/S.
On consoles and PC, you can now download the free Colosseum DLC. You can still cast your vote for FromSoftware’s masterpiece to win Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards.
As for cross-platform play, there has been no confirmation from FromSoftware on whether Elden Ring will support this feature. However, given the popularity of cross-platform play in modern gaming, it seems likely that the game will support it
The Colosseums have opened their gates.
In Update 1.08, players can now engage in Player versus Player arena fights using the Effigies of Marika located in each Colosseum lobby or at the Roundtable Hold, once you have visited each location once. pic.twitter.com/BFIwOeJQFs

Multiplayer modes
All of Elden Ring’s Colosseum multiplayer modes are listed below:
United Combat – Limgrave Colosseum
In United Combat, participants will be split into two teams and engaged in timed skirmishes with respawn points. Each enemy death and resurrection awards points, guaranteeing victory to the team with the highest score.
Combat Ordeal – Limgrave Colosseum
Every person in the Combat Ordeal is out for themselves. The person with the most points will win in this kind of combat, where combatants can respawn as many times as necessary until the timer reaches zero.
Duel Mode – Royal Colosseum
Without the option to respawn, two Tarnished engage in a combat to the death.
The Caelid Colosseum offers all of the aforementioned in addition to the additional capability of conjuring Spirit Ashes to battle alongside players.
