Just about one more sleep until Nintendo Switch 2 fans get their own Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring. The August 28 release date is just about here, but exactly when can you start playing? I'll let you know that and everything else you'll need when it's go time. Let's talk video games.

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition Key Facts

No publisher has posted a clock time. Bandai Namco, FromSoftware and Nintendo have all stayed quiet on the hour, and eShop preloads typically go live at midnight local console time rather than all at once worldwide.

On the question of what is different here, reviewers landed on a 30fps target in both modes with DLSS doing the upscaling.

The GTA 6 showcase premieres on Netflix at 3 p.m. ET Thursday and hits Rockstar’s YouTube channel at 9 p.m. ET the same night. While most of the world will be talking about the official Grand Theft Auto 6 reveal , a sect of diehard Elden Ring fans on Switch 2 will be locked in to the Tarnished Edition. Perhaps even some folks who own multiple consoles will be interested in seeing what's new or different on the Switch 2 compared to other versions.

Nintendo users are often in their own world as they remain the console community that seemingly has the most limited access to the major titles conquering the industry on PlayStation, Xbox and even PC. Because of that, it's gratifying to see such a huge and successful title like Elden Ring land on Switch 2.
