Elden Ring: Nightreign Lacks PS5 Pro Support and Tech Upgrades

Elden Ring: Nightreign, the multiplayer spin-off of the critically acclaimed game, shows both strengths and weaknesses on console platforms. While the gameplay design and strategic depth have received praise, performance issues remain significant. The game struggles to maintain a steady 60 frames per second on consoles, particularly disappointing for players expecting optimizations for the PS5 Pro. Despite improving combat mechanics and multiplayer functionality, technical elements like the lack of ray tracing support and poor optimization on consoles hinder the overall experience, leaving fans yearning for further enhancements.

The game fails to consistently achieve its targeted 60 fps across various console setups, with issues particularly notable on PS5 Pro and Xbox Series consoles. There is also no support for PS5 Pro enhancements, resulting in a lack of optimized performance despite its hardware capabilities.

Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, is known for its challenging gameplay and vast open world. It gained immense popularity for its deep lore and intricate gameplay mechanics. Nightreign expands this universe into a multiplayer-focused environment, allowing players to team up against formidable bosses while bringing a fresh take on the original's gameplay formula. However, the game's technical shortcomings have caused disappointment among its dedicated fanbase.
