UPDATE 2.30pm UK: Already, Elden Ring speedrun records are being broken.
No sooner had LilAggy completed the game in 59 minutes 38 seconds, Distortion2 managed an even quicker time in his first attempt: 49 minutes and 29 seconds.
What’s next? Sub 40 minutes?

Streamer LilAggy has managed to complete the game in under an hour.
“First person in the world to complete Elden Ring in under one hour,” he tweeted, grinning with his time of 59 minutes 38 seconds.
