The Lands Between call for co-op! Elden Ring: Nightreign, the thrilling (and unexpected!) multiplayer roguelike spin-off from FromSoftware, shifts the focus from solitary struggle to strategic teamwork, inviting three Tarnished to brave its dangers together. As you prepare to rally your friends for this 2025 adventure, the big questions arise: can you play across different systems, and will your hard-earned progress follow you? Let’s get you the answers!
Can You Team Up Across Platforms in Elden Ring: Nightreign?
When it comes to joining forces with friends, here’s the scoop on crossplay for Elden Ring: Nightreign:
-
The Main Point: Direct crossplay between different platform families (e.g., PC playing with PlayStation, or Xbox with PC) is not currently supported. So, if you’re on PC, your party will be other PC champions, PlayStation with PlayStation, and Xbox with Xbox.
-
The Good News for Console Generations! There’s a fantastic silver lining: cross-generational play IS supported within the same console family! This means PS5 players can absolutely team up with their friends on PS4. Likewise, Xbox Series X/S adventurers can join forces with those on Xbox One. So, if your co-op partner hasn’t made the jump to the latest hardware, you can still conquer Nightreign together – a definite win!
Will Your Elden Ring: Nightreign Progress Travel With You?
Regarding cross-progression and taking your saves to different platforms:
-
Unfortunately, Elden Ring: Nightreign does not support cross-progression. This means your character progress, unlocks, and save data will be tied to the platform family you start on (e.g., your PlayStation progress stays on PlayStation).
-
Planning Your Adventure: Without cross-saves, it’s wise to consider where you and your primary co-op buddies will be playing. If you’re a dedicated solo player or plan to stick to one system, you can simply pick your favorite platform and dive in! The beauty of Nightreign is that it’s designed for both team play and satisfying solo runs.
So, while you’ll need to coordinate platforms with your wider circle of friends, the ability to connect across console generations within the PlayStation and Xbox families is a great touch.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is beckoning! Choose your platform (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or Windows PC), rally your compatible allies, and prepare to face the reign of night!
