Elden Ring Nightreign smashed its launch target, shifting 2 million copies on day one and peaking at 313,593 concurrent Steam players—making it FromSoftware’s second-biggest Steam debut after the original Elden Ring. Bandai Namco even toasted “two million Nightfarers” in an official X post, celebrating fans who’ve descended into the darkness of Limveld.

To keep solo warriors happy, patch 1.02 arrives next week with bug fixes and solo-expedition buffs—think automatic revival on boss defeats and extra rune rewards. Reviews on Steam remain mixed, though, with players griping about missing two-player co-op, perceived lack of depth versus other Soulsborne titles and some finicky performance issues.
