Wow, so Elden Ring Nightreign just exploded right outta the gate, huh? I mean, we’re talking 3.5 million players in, like, five days? That’s wild. Launched on May 30, it’s already making some serious waves across platforms — PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else find these numbers kinda mind-boggling?
Anyway, FromSoftware’s gotta be pretty stoked about all this. I don’t blame them. Two million units sold on day one alone is nothing to sneeze at. I mean, it’s got an 80 on OpenCritic, which isn’t too shabby, right? Sure, some players are griping about the solo difficulty and the lack of a duos mode. But honestly, there seems to be plenty of folks out there having a blast with it.
Oh, and did you catch their Twitter post? They’re super grateful to the fans for all the support, and they hinted at some juicy DLC coming in 2025. Not to mention, they’re apparently working on a duos mode — about time, right?
So, side note: a new patch just dropped. It’s supposed to make the solo game a bit more palatable. Imagine, more runes for the solo players compared to group players. Sounds like solo folks might actually be able to level up without wanting to hurl their controllers. Plus, you get resurrected once per night boss. That’s a game-changer, literally.
But wait, there’s a hitch — always is, isn’t there? Xbox Series X/S players are running into matchmaking issues despite having patched up to 1.01.1. Players are talking on social media (which can be a hotbed of chaos, let’s be real) about problems with hosting and joining games. Random matchmaking seems fine, but playing with friends? Not so much. Kinda ironic considering the game’s big sell is its three-player co-op. Yet, there’s still a ray of hope — plenty of fans remain optimistic. How about you? Feeling optimistic or still on the fence?
So, what’s next for Elden Ring Nightreign? Only time will tell, I guess. But one thing’s certain, it’s off to one heck of a start.
