The issue of Elden Ring Nightreign crossplay is important since this game takes Elden Ring's Action RPG mechanics into a new multiplayer roguelike format, best enjoyed with friends. Cross-platform support would allow players to join those on other consoles and even PC, opening up the game to many more players and making matchmaking much easier – which means it's a huge shame that Elden Ring Nightreign does not have this feature.
Yes, Elden Ring Nightreign unfortunately does not currently support crossplay, so players are restricted to teaming up with those on the same platform, but that does extend to different console generations. We've explained everything you need to know about cross-platform support for Elden Ring Nightreign below, including whether it'll be added later.
Does Elden Ring Nightreign have crossplay?
There is no Elden Ring Nightreign crossplay or cross-platform support, meaning players on PlayStation will only be able to join other PlayStation players, Xbox with other Xbox players, and Steam with other players on Steam. At the time of writing, there are also no clear plans for crossplay to be implemented in Elden Ring Nightreign.
The good news is that Nightreign has cross-generational support, just like in Elden Ring. This means that you'll be able to tackle all of the Elden Ring Nightreign bosses with friends also within the same platform ecosystem as yourself – PS5 players can team up with those on PS4 or PS5, and the same is true for Xbox One and Xbox Series X owners too.
The decision to omit Elden Ring Nightreign crossplay is a disappointment to many (it's something we even mentioned in our Elden Ring Nightreign review!), and it's unclear whether this feature could be supported in the future. On the one hand, we now know that the highly requested duos mode will be added in a later update, so FromSoftware are clearly listening to player feedback. But on the other hand, crossplay is complicated and adding it would likely be a long process, assuming it's even possible.
Hopefully, FromSoftware changes its stance here, though if they do, don't expect cross-platform support to arrive any time soon.
