Elden Ring Nightreign is the new title from FromSoftware that features multiplayer, but does it have a crossplay feature? Here’s everything you need to know.
In case you were wondering, Nightreign is a standalone adventure that is set in the Elden Ring universe. While the majority of the mechanics from the original game make their way to this title, there are certain changes to offer players a different experience.
Is there crossplay in Elden Ring Nightreign?
Unfortunately, Elden Ring Nightreign does not have the crossplay feature. So, if you had planned to play it on PS5 and join your friends who are playing on a different platform (PC or Xbox), you won’t be able to do that.
Elden Ring Nightreign has cross-generational support, though. This means if you’re playing on PlayStation 4 and your friend is on a PlayStation 5, you can play together. The same goes for those wanting to team up using Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

The game’s director, Junya Ishizaki, confirmed the details above, saying: “Similar to the original Elden Ring, there will be cross-generational play but not cross-platform play. So, PS4 players can play with PS5 players, and Xbox One players can play with Xbox Series S and X players, but not between platforms.”
PC players can team up with other PC players only. Since it will be available only via Steam, there will not be any PC cross-platform support. The main Elden Ring game and Shadow of the Erdtree DLC are also only on Steam, as the games utilize Steamworks and Steam servers. The same can be said about Nightreign.
