Elden Ring Nightreign: FromSoftware Celebrates 3.5 Million Players and Confirms Duos
FromSoftware has announced that Elden Ring Nightreign has now had 3.5 million players across all platforms since its release last month. The developer celebrated the milestone on social media, where it also confirmed duo expeditions are on the way for the Elden Ring spin-off title.
Elden Ring Nightreign, the spin-off title of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, has now reached 3.5 million players since it was released on May 29, 2025, for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Announcing the impressive milestone on X, FromSoftware revealed the much-requested duo expeditions mode is coming to the game after the developer called it an “overlooked” feature throughout development.
Nightreign’s Rapid Rise to Success
Since its launch at the end of May, Elden Ring Nightreign has shattered expectations, hitting 3.5 million players across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in its first week.
The game focuses on three-player expeditions, something that players have clearly enjoyed, with the game pulling in over 300,000 concurrent players daily on Steam. However, it seems FromSoftware is only just getting started, with plenty more to come in the future.

Duos Confirmed: What It Means for Players
The main criticism from players since the release of Elden Ring Nightreign is the lack of duo expeditions. FromSoftware is looking to change that by adding the requested feature “at a later date.” Duo expeditions will offer a new co-op dynamic, easier progression, and simplified matchmaking while proving that FromSoftware is keen to learn from community feedback.
Although the game allows for three-player and solo expeditions, FromSoftware revealed that a two-player mode was “overlooked during development.” While FromSoftware does not give an exact release date for the new feature, it does show a willingness from the developer to support the game after its launch.
What’s Next for Elden Ring Nightreign
After a solid launch, Elden Ring Nightreign is only getting started, with FromSoftware confirming DLC for later this year, along with more content and “enhanced fights” this month.
Nightreign has just got a much-needed post-launch update with Patch 1.01.1, which fixed dozens of bugs, improved solo expeditions, and addressed Steam-related issues. With duo expeditions confirmed, there are lots of reasons to be excited about the future of Nightreign.
Conclusion
Elden Ring Nightreign is celebrating 3.5 million players, and developer FromSoftware has confirmed duo expeditions. Players can expect more content and a DLC before 2026 as the developer continues to support the game after its launch. Are you excited about the future of Nightreign?
