Bandai Namco and From Software have announced that another round of server maintenance for Elden Ring will be carried out today. Furthermore, the developer expects maintenance on the PlayStation and Steam servers to take longer than first thought.
Earlier this morning, the Elden Ring Twitter account announced that multiplayer server maintenance would begin on March 23 at 1am PT / 8am UK / 7pm Japan, with an expected duration of one hour. However, a follow up message announced that the PlayStation/Steam server maintenance “will be prolonged”.
Update: the server maintenance for PlayStation/Steam will be prolonged. We apologize for the inconvenience, you will be notified in this thread when the maintenance ends. Thank you for your patience.

As of 10am UK time, the servers are still down on PlayStation.
Elden Ring is currently going through what feels like its first major update phase following its release. Just last week patch 1.03 made a substantial amount of changes, including overhauling Glintstone sorcery (yay!) and nerfing Hoarfrost stomp (boo!) Speedrunners have been notably upset about some of the changes.
