Don't panic if all those bloodstains and messages fade away like fog in sunlight: Bandai Namco will take Dark Souls 3's servers down later tonight to deploy patch 1.04.

Rather than disable all servers in one fell swoop, Bandai will be staggering downtime across each of Dark Souls 3's platforms:

• PS4: 4pm to 6pm Pacific
• Xbox One: 4pm to 10pm Pacific
• PC: 11pm to 1am Pacific

Per the official Dark Souls Tumblr, players have a lot to look forward to in version 1.04, including fixes for item collection while playing multiplayer, relaxed conditions for certain optional events, and various fixes for issues that have caused crashes.

      Blue Bros and Darkmoon level range adjustments hopefully will solve some things!

        I finally unequipped their rings because I kept getting summoned to games and would wait 5+ minutes and never see an invader with the host just standing around

      PS4 was down most of last night for 1.04, and I already have 1.04 installed. Was this for last night? Or is tonight's maintenance to fix whatever happened last night?

        I believe the latter. The announcement on Tumblr specifically references downtime for tonight.

        Unfortunately could be something on the Microsoft support end.

      Are they going to flip the switch on the Poise stat and enable it?
