Elden Ring Nightreign Crossplay Explained
Image Credits: FromSoftware, Inc., Elden Ring Nightreign
Elden Ring Nightreign does not support crossplay between platforms like Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. You’re locked to your ecosystem, so if your friends are on a different system, you’ll have to enjoy Nightreign separately. Sad trombone.
What You Can Do Instead of Traditional Crossplay
While full cross-platform play isn’t available, cross-generation support is. That means:
PS4 and PS5 players can team up together
Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players can co-op as well
If your friend hasn’t upgraded yet, they can still join your expedition... as long as you're both in the same brand family.
Will Crossplay Ever Be Added?
Right now, there’s no official plan to add crossplay to Nightreign. FromSoftware has confirmed there will be post-launch content updates and new DLC later this year, but they haven’t said anything about expanding multiplayer compatibility.
Could it happen eventually? Sure. But don’t buy the game assuming it will.
Final Blurb
If you’re planning to hunt Nightlords with your crew, make sure you're all on the same platform. No cross-brand co-op means no PS5-Xbox-PC mixups.
Just matching logos and matching misery.
Stick to your kind... for now.
