The Soulsborne games are notoriously difficult for a number of reasons--one of which is that you cannot pause them. If you set your controller down, you run the risk of being invaded by another player or being attacked by a gigantic creature. That remains the same in Elden Ring, sadly, but there are a few things you can do to mitigate being taken out if you have to step away for a moment.

In short, you can’t pause in Elden Ring, at least not in the traditional sense. Going into the menu simply places an interface on the screen while everything in the world remains constant. You can actually continue to control your character while the menu is up, which is nifty. However, if you’re playing in offline mode, you can put your PS5 system into suspend mode, and it will effectively “pause” the game. As soon as you jump back in, you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off. We haven't tested this on Xbox, but it presumably works the same way.

Make sure to stop at a safe place if you need to step away. Or simply quit the game.

If you happen to be playing online at the time, and need to pause, your best bet is to simply quit out of the game. Thankfully, you’ll be able to load back in pretty much exactly where you last were, so it’s only slightly less convenient to do it this way.

Otherwise, it’s recommended to go to an area where you know you can’t be reached by enemies in-game, such as close to a Site of Grace or merchant. These areas aren’t always safe, but for the most part, you can gauge if enemies are likely to be nearby. This doesn’t prevent you from being reached by an enemy invader, so use this method at your own discretion if you need to pause.

The first major patch for Sony's Horizon Forbidden West is out now on PS4 and PS5. It fixes a series of issues and crashes that fans have reported to the team since launch last week.

Image oversharpening in HDR mode has been fixed with this update, while another issue involving some settlements streaming into the game and then out has been addressed. Patch 1.05 also fixes a flickering issue with the HUD and it addresses bugs where Aloy, NPCs, and enemies could become stuck in the world geometry. The update also fixes an issue that could cause NPCs to gather in large groups in one place at night, as if they had insomnia, Guerrilla said in a humorously written post.

There are fixes for quests, too, including for an issue in The Eye of the Earth where Aloy could fall out of world if the cinematic was skipped. In the Cradle of Echoes quest, Varl could wander off, but that's now been fixed, while the Sea of Sands quest has been fixed to address issues with grapple points.

The patch doesn't fix every problem, however, as Guerrilla Games also published a list of known issues that includes graphical issues involving "shimmering, sharpening, and screen saturation" in some situations. Players have also reported a progression-blocker issue with the Reach for the Stars quest, while Aloy's outfit can appear as blurry in Photo Mode.

You can see the full 1.05 patch notes and known issues below. And for more, check out GameSpot's Horizon Forbidden West review and what other critics think.
