What you need to know
- Elden Ring's most popular mod is Seamless Co-op, a project that removes restrictions like barriers between zones and other obstacles that make co-op multiplayer tedious.
- Seamless Co-op was broken by the launch of Elden Ring's colossal Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on June 21. Now, though, creator LukeYui has updated the mod so it's compatible with the expansion.
- The mod has actually gone through a "complete rewrite from scratch," and now allows players to co-op through invasions and summonings that occur as part of NPC questlines.
- Saves from previous Seamless Co-op versions are compatible with the new one, so you and your friends can play through Shadow of the Erdtree with characters used during previous playthroughs. Players who don't own the DLC can't join people who do and are playing in one of its zones, though.
