Elden Ring Nightreign developer FromSoftware has completed a new round of server maintenance aimed at enhancing the game’s matchmaking system. Shortly after the game’s launch, players reported issues with online functionality. In response, FromSoftware advised affected users to restart the matchmaking process and, for PlayStation 4 and 5 players, check their NAT type to improve connection stability.

Following the server maintenance conducted on June 6—designed to “improve expedition matchmaking with an active Remembrance”—online features have been successfully restored. Fans are now optimistic about a more seamless multiplayer experience moving forward.

“Thank you for your patience, Nightfarers,” FromSoftware stated. “Limveld awaits.”

Despite early technical hurdles, Elden Ring Nightreign has achieved impressive sales figures, reaching 3.5 million copies sold within just five days of release. While this falls short of the original Elden Ring, which surpassed 30 million units since its 2022 debut, it's still a strong performance. For comparison, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion moved 5 million copies in its first three days in 2024.

Player sentiment on Steam has also improved, shifting from a "mixed" to a "mostly positive" user review rating. Initial criticism centered around the game’s punishing solo gameplay, lack of duos co-op, absence of voice chat, and other outdated mechanics.

However, recent updates have addressed some of these concerns. A patch was released to make solo play more approachable, and FromSoftware has confirmed that Duos mode is currently in development.

What’s Next for Elden Ring Nightreign?

FromSoftware has announced plans to gradually introduce new content throughout the year, including enhanced encounters against existing Nightlords starting this month. Additionally, the game’s director recently revealed he had defeated every boss without using Relics, emphasizing that completing the game fully is “very possible.”
