Elden Ring: Nightreign has a huge focus on co-op, although you can technically play it offline and in single player if you like. Despite this, FromSoftware is not offering crossplay in the game.

“Similar to the original Elden Ring, there will be cross-generational play but not cross-platform play,” director Junya Ishizaki told IGN. “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.”

Crossplay has become much more commonplace across all of the biggest multiplayer games, breaking barriers between which platforms people play on. This restriction means PlayStation owners will not be able to team up with pals on PC or Xbox, which feels like a shame in the current day and age.

Of course, FromSoftware’s online implementation has always been archaic, to put it politely. We’re assuming it’ll be a little easier to meet up with friends and play together in Nightreign than in the main Elden Ring game, but the proof will be in the pudding.
