Elden Ring Nightreign, released today, is off to an immediately strong start on Steam.
The online co-op spin-off has already reached a peak concurrent player count of 313,593 players within its first few hours of availability.
It’s also sitting comfortably in the top five most played games of the last 24 hours.
Of course, Steam’s most played games list tends to be dominated by multiplayer games – by their nature, they attract more players.
By contrast, the original Elden Ring has a peak concurrent player count of 953,426, sitting at ninth in the all-time most played games.
Still, there’s clearly interest in FromSoftware’s multiplayer experiment.
The game is also available across PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
A day one patch is available to download, which brings balance adjustments and bug fixes. However, FromSoftware has warned some PC configurations using the latest graphics cards may experience frame rate drops.
“FromSoftware’s multiplayer spin-off is an exhilarating rush and a celebration of the studio’s prior achievements Souls veterans will devour,” reads our Elden Ring Nightreign review.
