Elden Ring Nightreign is set to be a multiplayer-oriented, roguelite spinoff of 2022's Elden Ring, one of the most popular and critically-celebrated RPGs of the last few years. Hardened Souls veterans and new FromSoft fans alike will find Limveld an unfamiliar, challenging, and ever-changing place.
Elden Ring Nightreign: Deluxe Edition & Preorder Rewards
There are three different editions Elden Ring Nightreign players can purchase, as well as a preorder bonus for buying the game before launch.
FromSoftware's highly anticipated foray into the multiplayer-first genre is almost here, but depending on where you live in the world and which platform you intend to play Nightreign, the Elden Ring Nightreign release time and date may vary. This guide explains when both PC players and console players can start playing Nightreign, and lists the launch date for several time zones across the world to help you find out when Nightreign releases in your local area.
Can You Pre-Load Elden Ring Nightreign?
According to an official release times post, it will be possible to pre-load Nightreign 48 hours before the launch time for the PC and Console platforms, respectively. Nightreign is set to launch on PC via Steam, and will also be available on Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
Elden Ring Nightreign PC Release Time
The Elden Ring Nightreign PC launch is set to be a concurrent release, meaning every PC player across the world will be able to access the game at the same time. Nightreign releases on PC at 6:00 p.m. EDT on May 29, 2025.
Though the official release date for Nightreign is May 30, 2025, players in the BST time zone and to the west will be able to play the game on the 29th because of its concurrent release. Players to the east of the BST time zone will have to wait until midnight or the morning of the 30th to play Nightreign.
To find out when Nightreign releases on PC in your region, convert 6:00 p.m. EDT to your local time zone. For convenience, you can also refer to this list of common time zones across the world:

8 Most Loved FromSoftware Characters, Ranked
FromSoftware truly knows how to craft strangely lovable characters in its twisted worlds, and these are the best of them.
Elden Ring Nightreign Console Release Time
On both the Xbox and PlayStation consoles, the time Nightreign releases will not be concurrent except in the Americas. In almost every time zone, Nightreign will launch on consoles at midnight. In regions east of the BST time zone, the game will be available to play on May 30 at midnight in your local time.
Because Nightreign releases on consoles at midnight, players in the New Zealand time zone will technically have access to the game considerably earlier than players in the U.S.
However, if you live in the Americas, the Nightreign release time on consoles is concurrent with the EDT midnight release on May 30, 2025. If you live in the PDT time zone, the game will be available at 9 p.m. On the 29th, while players in the BRT time zone will have to wait until 1 a.m. On the 30th.
