How To Pause On Xbox Consoles
To pause the Elden Ring on Xbox consoles, you have to open the menu and go into the inventory section and select it by pressing (A). Then press help; it will be shown at the bottom of your tv screen. When you will go into help the choice option will pop up at bottom of it and will be written “Menu Explanation” just press (A) to it, and the game will be paused. The pictures below entail the process of pausing Elden Ring on Xbox.
- Unlike Sekiro, Elden Ring doesn’t have a normal pause button which can be a nuisance if you want to take a break. However, there is a certain menu that pauses the game without getting the player banned.
- To pause, open the menu screen, select inventory, press the help button, and then select Menu Explanation.
- This stops everything that was happening in the overworld and pretty much functions the same as a traditional pause button.
- The method is applicable on all platforms (Xbox, PlayStation, and PC).
