How To Play With Friends In Elden Ring Nightreign

by

In virtually every primary FromSoftware game, multiplayer has been integrated. However, Elden Ring Nightreign marks the first instance where the developer has delved into the genre that prioritizes multiplayer experiences. Consequently, the manner in which multiplayer functions in Nightreign is distinct from its implementation in the Souls series and Elden Ring.

In Nightreign, you don’t necessarily have to set up summon signs to play with friends. However, it is important that you activate specific multiplayer settings and understand the new matchmaking system. This guide will walk you through how the matchmaking in Nightreign functions, what each multiplayer setting does, and how to engage in solo play or initiate a private group for playing Nightreign with your friends.

Nightreign Multiplayer System, Explained

How To Play Online In Elden Ring Nightreign

Before starting online play, navigate to your Network settings and confirm that “Nightreign” is configured for Online play. If it’s currently set to Offline, remember that you won’t be able to join multiplayer sessions until you switch it back to Online mode and reboot the game.

After activating it, navigate directly to the Roundtable inside Roundtable Hold, and interact with the Roundtable to access the Expedition menu. If everything is properly configured, you can choose which Expeditions you’d like to join the queue for, then pick ‘Start Expedition’ to find other players online.

I regret to inform you that Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t support cross-platform play across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. This means you can only engage in online gameplay with individuals using the same platform as yourself.

Nightreign Multiplayer Settings

To access Multiplayer Settings, simply navigate over there. This area offers a range of Multiplayer features that Nightreign players can utilize for inviting friends, setting passwords, creating groups, or toggling between Multiplayer and Singleplayer Expeditions as desired.

  • Team Session: click the Invite Members button to directly invite players from your friends list on your platform of choice. This button should automatically bring up your platform’s interface and friend list.
  • Password: allows players to connect via a shared password, which prevents anyone except those with the password from joining your session. You can also customize the number of password players, if you need to fill the third slot with a random player. Be sure to look through your password history to easily reconnect with players you have played with before.
  • Group Password: allows players to enter a password that ties them to a group. These are soft passwords – you are more likely to match with other players with the same group password, but it does not prevent normal matchmaking from filling in your team.
  • Expedition Type: a toggleable option that lets players switch between the default Multiplayer Expedition type and Singleplayer, in which you take on the challenges of Limveld alone or offline.

How To Invite Friends To A Private Nightreign Group

How To Play Elden Ring Nightreign With Friends

As a gamer, I can tell you that if you’d rather not jump into online matchmaking, Nightreign offers a solution by letting you create a private group in two ways: either by setting up a password or sending direct invites. To establish a private group within Nightreign and enjoy some friendly competition with your buddies, get together with your teammates and agree on an exclusive password. Once everybody has the same secret phrase, input it into the Password section found in the Multiplayer Settings menu. Happy gaming!

While it’s feasible to conquer Nightreign using a public squad, your performance is likely to be stronger when playing with individuals who can communicate effectively through voice chat.

Generally speaking, it should be straightforward to connect with other players who use the same password. However, if one player has an active Shifting Earth event or is engaged in a Remembrance personal mission, you might encounter some difficulties when trying to start a Nightreign game.

If you find yourself disconnected from your friends, attempt joining them individually, varying the order. A player who possesses a unique personal modifier should either resolve the Shifting Earth incident or delay the Remembrance to minimize any potential clashes during the matching process.

As a gamer, I’ve found that these two strategies usually do the trick: increasing the player count in my game of Nightreign. However, if you find yourself stuck with just two players after a while, it might be time to take matters into your own hands. Inviting friends directly always seems to work like a charm, whereas matching through passwords can sometimes be hit or miss. If all else fails, don’t hesitate to use the friends list on your gaming platform to invite pals to join me in Nightreign!
