Now that we know more about howElden Ring Nightreignactually plays after itsrecent network test, you’re probably starting to coordinate friend groups to play the co-op title on release. You’re probably wondering, doesElden Ring Nightreignhave crossplay so you can play with friends on other platforms? Let’s take a look.
Is there crossplay in Elden Ring Nightreign?
Unfortunately, FromSoftware has confirmed that there will be no crossplay support across platforms. There will be support for generational crossplay between platforms, which means PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players can play together, as can Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players. However, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players won’t be able to play together, and PC players will only be able to play with other PC players.
This means if you want to play with friends, you will all need to be on the same platform. On the plus side,Elden Ring Nightreignappears to be following the same release plans asShadow of the Erdtreewhich means it will be released globally on all platforms at the same time. If you and your friends all agree on the same platform to play on, you shouldn’t have any issues playing together come release.
Is there PC cross-platform support?
At the moment it appearsElden Ring Nightreignwill only be available on Steam when it comes to PC. As such, there will not be PC cross-platform support because it is only available on one PC platform: Steam. This is to be expected as the baseElden Ringgame andShadow of the ErdtreeDLC are both only on Steam as well, most likely due to the multiplayer features of the game utilizing Steamworks and Steam servers.
It’s important to note that based on this logic, matchmaking inElden Ring Nightreignwill platform-specific as well, meaning PC players will not be matchmade with console players and vice versa.
