Nice to see FromSoftware branching out with co-op while keeping that signature Souls flavor—300K players proves the hype is real. Fingers crossed the PC optimization gets patched up quick so everyone can enjoy the chaos smoothly. Kinda wild how Nightreign’s already a top-five Steam game, yet it’s still living in the original’s million-player shadow. FromSoft’s got that magic touch, huh

Not surprised Nightreign is killing it—FromSoftware’s co-op formula is like crack for Souls fans. Hopefully, they iron out those PC performance hiccups soon though 300K concurrent players is solid for a spin-off, but man, the original Elden Ring’s numbers still feel untouchable. Love seeing the Souls community thrive either way.
