Overview

  • On launch day, Nightreign reached a peak of 313,593 concurrent players on Steam, making it FromSoftware’s second-largest PC debut after Elden Ring.
  • Sessions condense an entire Soulsborne run into 45-minute, battle royale–influenced expeditions designed for teams of three.
  • Mixed player feedback highlights smooth combat with coordinated friends alongside frustration over no duos, no cross-play and missing in-game chat.
  • FromSoftware will deploy patch 1.02 next week to grant a one-time automatic revive per boss encounter and increase rune rewards in solo expeditions.
  • Director Junya Ishizaki apologized for overlooking two-player co-op and said duo support is under consideration for a future update.
