Elden Ring Nightreign Climbs Steam’s Top Paid Charts

Elden Ring: Nightreign is just days away from launch, and Bandai Namco Entertainment has been ramping up marketing with character reveals, streamer campaigns, and in-depth previews of what awaits players later this month. Despite some apprehension around its multiplayer focus, Elden Ring: Nightreign has already climbed Steam’s top sellers list.

Steam makes up a sizable portion of FromSoftware’s audience, so it’s no surprise that their next major title is performing well even before its release.

FromSoftware has been incorporating multiplayer elements into its games for years, with invasions, summons, and PvP arenas being staples in their Soulslike titles and even present in the Armored Core series. The desire to create a full multiplayer experience was clear, and Elden Ring: Nightreign marks their major PvE title with a roguelike core.

Fans accustomed to the studio’s single-player offerings have expressed some hesitation, but the lower $40 price tag and trust in the studio have put Nightreign in a relatively comfortable position.

FromSoftware has also confirmed that Nightreign is not a live-service title and will not include microtransactions. While DLC content is planned, players shouldn’t expect a battle pass or paid cosmetics.

As someone who enjoys the multiplayer aspects of FromSoftware’s games, I’m a bit concerned about the state of the servers at launch. While invasions and co-op can be a lot of fun, stability has often been an issue in practice. Since Nightreign is built around co-op, I hope extra care has been taken to ensure everything runs smoothly when it launches on May 30, 2025, across all platforms.

Unfortunately, Elden Ring: Nightreign does not support crossplay between different platforms, aside from within the same console family. This means players won’t be able to enjoy the game with friends on other systems, which is a shame and something I hope they address in a future update.

Overall, I won’t be surprised if Elden Ring: Nightreign sells well at launch. The lower price and confidence in FromSoftware’s quality will likely ease any hesitation. Additionally, the promise of giving players everything at launch is something we rarely see in multiplayer titles under the current live-service model.
