Play Elden Ring in the cloud
Want to play Elden Ring but don't have a gaming PC? Rent a cloud rig by the hour, install Elden Ring with your own Steam account, and play it from any browser.
Elden Ring runs beautifully on a rented RigRentals rig. Because it's a single-player title, it works great through our built-in launcher — you sign in with your own Steam account, it installs, and you play. No gaming hardware of your own required.
The RTX 4090 rig at $2.00/hr is our recommended tier for Elden Ring — it delivers high-end 1440p/4K gaming with ray tracing and DLSS.
What Elden Ring needs on a rented rig
Elden Ring needs about 50 GB of extra storage on top of the included 50 GB. 2 hours on an RTX 4090 rig at $2.00/hr plus 50 GB of storage at $0.007/GB comes to $4.35.

Which rig for Elden Ring?
The open world is far heavier than the boss arenas, and that's where mid-range cards drop below the 60 fps cap the game locks you to.
Worth knowing before you start
Around 60 GB, so it needs a small storage add-on. Saves live in the cloud through Steam, which suits a rig that resets each session.
