In a recent post on Twitter, FromSoftware announced that Elden Ring Nightreign had reached another impressive milestone, as it has made its way into the hands of 3.5 million players. It's worth noting that Elden Ring Nightreign has only been available for five days, which was mentioned in the post. The statement also thanked fans for their support and passion. A follow-up post also focused on the future of the game, mentioning that Elden Ring Nightreign's planned DLC will be coming out later in 2025. It even noted that the developers are actively working on a duos mode.

Elden Ring Nightreign Reaches 3.5 Million Players

FromSoftware recently launched a new patch for Elden Ring Nightreign, which addressed a wide variety of issues with the game. In addition to bug fixes, the patch notes mentioned that changes had been made to improve the solo experience of players. For instance, gamers who play solo will now earn more runes than when playing within a group. This will allow fans to level up more frequently before they face off against the title's most challenging foes. Players will also be able to resurrect once per night boss, which makes each run a little more forgiving.

Despite the title's recent success, some gamers on Xbox Series X/S are experiencing issues with Elden Ring Nightreign. According to recent posts on social media, these players have already installed the game's 1.01.1 patch. These fans are reporting issues with both hosting and joining games. While some people have stated that they're able to take part in random matchmaking, they aren't able to play with their friends. This has disappointed many players, as the game's three-player co-op is a major feature. Despite a few hiccups, many fans are still feeling optimistic about the future of Elden Ring Nightreign.
