Elden Ring Nightreign Update Makes Solo Play Simpler

Jun 02, 2025 11:46 AM

FromSoftware has released an update for Elden Ring Nightreign aimed at improving the gaming experience for solo players. This patch includes an automatic revive feature when facing Nightlords, along with an increase in rune gains. Additionally, the update enhances the acquisition rates of high-rarity Relics during expeditions and from purchases at the Small Jar Bazaar. General gameplay stability is also improved with a variety of bug fixes, including adjustments to camera angles and action rendering. However, the update does not fully address frame rate issues that some Steam users have encountered.

The multiplayer aspect of Elden Ring Nightreign received mixed reviews, particularly concerning its balance in solo mode. FromSoftware acknowledged matchmaking problems and hinted at the possibility of introducing a two-player mode in future updates. Meanwhile, the community has already begun developing mod solutions to enhance solo play experiences.

The automatic revive and relic drop boosts are solid QoL tweaks, but it’s wild how the community’s already modding fixes before FromSoft can address the Steam performance woes. Classic Soulsborne hustle. Also, a two-player mode tease Guess they’re finally realizing co-op is the real endgame.

Nice to see FromSoftware listening to solo players—auto-revive against Nightlords is a game-changer, and the relic drop buffs are a sweet bonus. Still, fingers crossed they tackle those Steam frame rate hiccups soon though
