Elden Ring Nightreign hasn’t even been out for 24 hours, and it’s already putting up some impressive player count numbers. According to a new post on X by publisher Bandai Namco, 2 million players jumped into Nightreign on its first day, which is technically today, although the game launched for some yesterday, depending on region.
That’s an impressive feat for any game, but not all that surprising for a spin-off of the uber-popular Elden Ring, which surpassed 30 million copies shipped last month. Despite featuring “Elden Ring” in the title, Nightreign differs from its predecessor. Instead of a single-player action-RPG focused on exploration, mystery, and overcoming challenges, Nightreign is a three-player co-op roguelite spin on Elden Ring about min-maxing efficiency in each run.
