Elden Ringhas proven to be the most successful game by FromSoftware yet, selling over 12 million copies in its early launch window. Yet whileElden Ringis putting up sales numbers that put it among massive multi-studio franchises, it’s still very rough in some ways.Elden Ringhas struggled with multiplayer bugs, broken questlines, and serious weapon balance issues since launch. While FromSoftware is working hard to correct lasting issues, players continue to bring various things to the developer’s attention – like how frustrating it is to try and quit the game.

AsElden Ringplayers on PlayStation and Xbox know, the game doesn’t really feature an option to quit the game. There is a “Quit Game” option stuffed intoElden Ring’ssettings, but it’s only a half measure. Clicking on the Quit Game button will exit the session but will only take players toElden Ring’smain menu. From there, there’s no actual option to fully exit the game. Players have to go to their console home screen and shut the game down through the system.

In a virally popular post on theElden Ringsubreddit, accruing nearly 16 thousand upvotes, players are asking for a quality of life change allowing players to actually quit the game. The image shared in the post features a second button below Quit Game that reads, “Quit Game, but really.” Players want a simple option that will allow them to fully exitElden Ringfrom a menu accessible within the gameplay experience.

The issue isn’t limited to just theconsole version ofElden Ring, however. While console players don’t have an option to closeElden Ringfrom any menu, PC players do. It’s just frustrating. Like console players, they can find a Quit Game option from withinElden Ring’ssettings. This takes them back toElden Ring’s menu, where they have to wait to reconnect toElden Ring’sservers, acceptElden Ring’scommunity guidelines, and then fully exit the game from the main menu.

Why FromSoftware has made it so frustrating to fully exitElden Ringisn’t clear. Some players believe it has to do with how the game preserves save data, while others think it’s tied to theEasy Anti-Cheat partner softwareElden Ringuses. Others just believe From Software didn’t really have the time or energy to improve this part of the game, so long as it worked.

Whether FromSoftware will actually improve this part ofElden Ringin the future is a mystery. FromSoftware isn’t known for updating anything in its games that isn’t entirely necessary, particularly when it has to do with the PC version of the game. Still, havingsold 12 million copies, perhaps FromSoftware and Bandai Namco will be behooved to respond to player feedback a bit more attentively than in the past.

Elden Ringis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
