The topic of crossplay in Elden Ring Nightreign has gained importance, especially as the game leans more towards multiplayer experiences. The ability to play with friends across different consoles would enhance the multiplayer aspect significantly. Unfortunately, Elden Ring Nightreign won’t support crossplay at its launch.
This means players can only team up with others who are on the same platform. In the recent beta for Elden Ring Nightreign, it was clear that PlayStation users could only connect with other PlayStation users, and the same restriction applies to PC and Xbox players. Let’s break down how crossplay works in this game.
Understanding Cross-Platform Play in Elden Ring Nightreign
Crossplay will not be available in Elden Ring Nightreign. This means that if you’re playing online during the Elden Ring Nightreign network tests on PS5, you can’t join your friends who are on PC or Xbox Series X. This choice keeps the crossplay features similar to those in the original Elden Ring, which had similar limitations.
The silver lining is that Elden Ring Nightreign will offer cross-generational support. This means PS4 players can team up with PS5 players, and the same applies to Xbox One and Xbox Series X users.
While the lack of crossplay might be disappointing for many players, it’s unlikely that FromSoftware will change this policy. There have been hints from the game’s director about considering support for Duos in the future, so there’s a possibility of introducing cross-platform servers someday. However, it may just be hopeful thinking.
As we come to terms with this decision, take the time to get familiar with the Elden Ring Nightreign classes. There are significant updates that could surprise even the most seasoned Elden Ring players.
While awaiting the game’s release on May 30, 2025, for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, feel free to check out our Elden Ring Nightreign hands-on preview to learn more about this exciting standalone adventure.
