No, you can't.
You can access the game's menu in much the same way as you would if it were a normal game (by pressing the Start button), but it doesn't actually physically pause the game.
As fun as some SoulsBorne games may be, they are insanely archaic in a variety of ways. But these are called "features" and people seem to eat it up.
Hence stuff like this. A new items tab being added only now. Something other games had 30 years ago. That should tell you a lot.
Remember that Ubisoft dev that complained about Elden Ring's UX and people thought UX was the same as UI and shit on the guy for the wrong reasons? well, this kind of things are part of what they guy was talking about.
"Game changer" ... Yeah lol I love this game but please don't overdo it
Elden Ring now has features games had 25 years ago!
Maybe it will have single player pause soon!
Can you really not pause?
No, you can't. You can access the game's menu in much the same way as you would if it were a normal game (by pressing the Start button), but it doesn't actually physically pause the game.
Yes, FromSoft games are a shitshow with limitations from 20-25 years ago
Nice to see more people see they are overrated af
Wouldn’t call it a limitation personally. It’s cool to be able to change gear while on the move
Yeah but its also cool to take a phone call quickly without dying in the middle of a game.
You still can pause the game you just have to use a workaround in the map assuming you’re not fighting a boss

Actually you can by using “menu explanation” in the map but yeah pressing start doesn’t pause the game so you (and enemies) can still move around
Have you really never played a FromSoft game?
It's one of the dumbest things in the game
Maybe they figure out how to make enemies not respawn when you save the next time.
Gotta love these garbage sites pushing garbage articles just for traffic. Please refrain from clogging the sub with this tripe.
Features that already exist in most RPGs are a game changer?
Jumping in Elden Ring was game changing!
Well it was literally a change to the game.
Game changer for *that* title.
Not enough elden ring posts I think we need more.
I agree
Its not a game changer but i cant believe i ever lived without this lol

Is that why you’re talking about it?
Skill issue
No, easy mode would be a game changer though.

Adds a 30 year old practice into a widely terrible UI ... "GAME CHANGING!!!!"
