FromSoftware released Elden Ring patch 1.17.1 in early September 2026 (reported on September 8). It is a small hotfix that follows patch 1.17 and only targets one multiplayer bug tied to the Tarnished Pack content.
What patch 1.17.1 fixes
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Version | 1.17.1 |
| Type | Hotfix (no new content) |
| Fix | Multiplayer issue where, under specific conditions, DLC-specific items could be obtained by players not normally eligible for them |
| Balance changes | None |
What it means for you
- No build changes: the balance pass from patch 1.17 stays exactly as it was.
- Co-op and invasions: joining a Tarnished Edition player no longer lets their DLC-only items appear in your world if you do not own that content.
- Update before going online: as with every patch, you need the latest version to play online.
