Elden Ring Nightreign offered 2 million copies on its first day.
“Pre-orders and early sales have pushed the game beyond the incredible 2 million units milestone,” writer Bandai Namco introduced.
The multiplayer co-op spin-off launched in a single day and shortly shot up the Steam most-played chart, with an spectacular 313,593 peak concurrent customers.
That doesn’t inform the complete story, of course, with each Microsoft and Sony withholding Xbox and PlayStation participant numbers. But FromSoftware has now given us an concept of simply how large Elden Ring Nightreign is, with the announcement of 2 million copies offered already.
Elden Ring was a huge hit, promoting 30 million since going on sale in 2022, and it appears unlikely that Nightreign will come close to matching that success. For higher context, the Shadow of the Erdtree growth offered 5 million copies inside three days of its release in 2024. It shall be attention-grabbing to see if a gross sales determine is introduced for the identical period for Elden Ring Nightreign.
Despite the enormous participant numbers, not all is effectively with Elden Ring Nightreign. It has a ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam, the place complaints revolving round the lack of duos, or two-player co-op, and voice chat. Players are also complaining about the brutally difficult solo experience, and how arduous it’s to search out pals to make up enough numbers to fill a three-player squad. (*2*).
As defined in IGN's Elden Ring Nightreign review: "Let’s get the most important caveat out of the way first: if you are hoping to tackle Nightreign entirely solo, and are anything less than a hardcore Elden Ring player that actively seeks out ways to make that already difficult game even more challenging, Nightreign isn’t for you. Yes, there is technically a single-player option, but it is so poorly balanced that I would be shocked if it isn’t patched and adjusted within the first month of release. And this is coming from someone who lives and breathes these types of games."
