Overview

  • Elden Ring Nightreign reached more than 2 million players on its first day and peaked at over 313,000 concurrent users on Steam.
  • The game’s Steam rating stands at “Mixed” as players praise its fast-paced three-player co-op but criticize omissions of duos mode, crossplay and in-game voice chat.
  • Solo expeditions have proven extremely challenging, prompting FromSoftware to add an automatic revival each boss fight and increase rune drops in next week’s Patch 1.02.
  • Director Junya Ishizaki apologized for overlooking two-player co-op during development and confirmed that duos support is under consideration for post-launch updates.
  • PC modders are already working on a duos mode mod that could address the two-player gap until official support arrives.
