After being disabled due to an exploit that could result in information theft and system bricking, the online features for Dark Souls Remastered are available again on PC. It follows the same features being reactivated for Dark Souls 3 and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. Owners of the base version of Dark Souls 2 on PC still need to wait until later for online features to be restored.
It’s worth noting that Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition won’t have its online services restored on PC. This is due to an “aging system,” which makes sense given that this version launched in 2012. It may be a good time to move over to Dark Souls Remastered for one’s PvP needs. Alternatively, you can check out Elden Ring, FromSoftware’s open-world take on Dark Souls, which recently received separate damage scaling for PvP.
