Elden Ring Returns to The Stevetendo Show in Episode 759

Sarah ChenBy Sarah Chen·

Elden Ring has made its return on The Stevetendo Show. Shacknews recently announced Episode 759 of the ShackStream, which keeps the focus on FromSoftware’s open-world RPG.

Shacknews refers to this episode as “more Elden Ring,” confirming that it’s a continuation rather than a first look. The listing, which also appears in Google News, doesn’t provide details on what the stream will entail. There are no specifics about boss targets, build details, or guest appearances.

This stream may seem like a small event on its own, but it shows that a game launched on February 25, 2022, still holds a place in a long-running weekly show, even four years after its release.

Why Elden Ring Still Gets Stream Time

Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Elden Ring has a Metacritic score of 95. On Steam, 93% of its 573,648 reviews are positive. Few games manage to maintain such a strong reception across that many reviews.

The player base remains active. Right now, Steam shows 18,290 concurrent players. While that number is lower than during the launch window, it’s still a healthy audience for a $59.99 single-player-focused action RPG this far past its release.

Streams like this serve a practical purpose too. The difficulty and open structure of Elden Ring encourage live, unscripted play, where viewers can watch a host tackle an encounter in real time. Shacknews hasn’t mentioned if Episode 759 follows a specific run or challenge.

Community Pulse

The overall sentiment within the community across the 10 signals we tracked remains mostly positive. One Steam reviewer captured the allure of the game’s ending: “really not looking forward to finishing this – I’m going to be left with the feeling of ‘what now’ and the only correct answer will be, we go again.” This desire to start over helps explain why the game continues to get stream time.

What To Watch

  • Episode details: Shacknews hasn’t shared what Episode 759 will cover. Keep an eye on the stream page for specifics on the segment and any guests.
  • Player counts: The current Steam figure stands at 18,290. Any changes in the days following the stream will indicate whether this kind of coverage impacts the numbers.
  • Further episodes: The “more Elden Ring” framing suggests the game will keep appearing on the show. Watch for updates on upcoming episodes to see if they continue the series.
