How to Play Multiplayer
Join Random Matchmaking Sessions
When playing solo multiplayer, or with two out of three players in a lobby, you can queue and matchmake with random players. In order to start matchmaking, you have to Commence Expedition at the Roundtable Hold. This will put you in a queue that lasts until it fills up the remaining players needed to start the Expedition.
Keep in mind to leave the Multiplayer Password empty for random matchmaking, so that you can matchmake with random players that do not have a password.
Matchmaking Guide: How to Join Party
Set Up a Group Password
If you want to play with friends, you should input a Multiplayer Password that matches with your teammates. Once all three of you have the same password, you can Commence Expedition at the Roundtable Hold to start queueing up with your friends.
Invite Friends Directly, or Use a Shareable URL or QR Code
By using the Invite Players option, you can invite your Friends into the game, and they will receive a notification to join on their PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam account.
You can view a QR Code and shareable URL which can be used to invite other players. Note that we have only confirmed this option to work successfully on PS5 at the current time, as the Xbox version of the screen seems to be bugged.
Can Recruit for a Third with Two Players
If you have two players in your lobby already, both players can select Commence Expedition to automatically start recruitment for a third player, either through a Multiplayer Password, Invite Players, or Random Matching.
How to Do an In-Game Voice Call
Feature for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox
Although it's possible to use Discord or another third-party application for video calls, it's also possible to join a chat within the game itself. As there is no cross-play in Nightreign, this is an easy method to get all members in the same call.

All Multiplayer Features
Co-Op with 3 Players
Elden Ring Nightreign has a co-op feature allowing players to team up in groups of three. An option for solo mode is also available.
Two Player Multiplayer Not Available
Note that Elden Ring Nightreign's co-op does not allow duos. You can only choose to start three-player or solo expeditions.
No Plans for PvP
As mentioned in the same interview, there are no plans for PvP in Elden Ring Nightreign. The main focus of the game is its three-player co-op experience.
Cross Platform is Not Supported
Similar to Elden Ring, cross platform is not supported although cross-generational play is possible. This means that those playing on PS4 can play with PS5 players but not with those playing on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. PC players can only play with other PC players likewise.
Will Elden Ring Nightreign Have Crossplay?
Multiplayer vs Solo Differences

|
|
Enemy Scaling
Similiar to their previous games, the HP and damage scaling for enemies will scale down when playing solo. This also includes a slight change on Boss attacks such as Tricephalos not splitting when going up against it solo.
No Change in Enemy Quantity
Whether you play solo or multiplayer, the amount of enemies you encounter throughout your expeditions will not change. This means that playing solo will require you to take on all the powerful Bosses within the game by yourself.
Should I Play Multiplayer or Solo?
Multiplayer is Recommended
We highly recommend playing co-op as this makes your runs much faster and easier compared to playing solo. Additionally, other players can Pin nearby items for you so that you can easily get good equipment and better loot when communicating with your teammates.
Solo Is Much More Playabe After the Updates
While we still recommend Nightreign to be played as a multiplayer game, playing solo is possible and much more doable after the patch 1.0.1.1 update. The game recieved some solo buffs which includes the ability to purchase Wending Grace from merchants as well as several balance updates to enemies to make solo play more feasible.
