Elden Ring Nightreign Sells 2M on Day One

Elden Ring Nightreign Sells Over 2 Million Copies on Launch Day

"Strong pre-order numbers and initial sales have propelled the game past the remarkable 2 million units sold mark," publisher Bandai Namco revealed.

The cooperative multiplayer spinoff launched overnight and quickly ascended Steam's most-played charts, achieving an impressive peak of 313,593 concurrent players.

These figures only represent part of the success story, as neither Microsoft nor Sony disclose Xbox and PlayStation player counts. However, FromSoftware has now confirmed the game's massive launch scale with its 2 million sales announcement.

Though Elden Ring became a cultural phenomenon with 30 million copies sold since its 2022 release, Nightreign likely won't reach those heights. For comparison, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion sold 5 million copies within three days earlier this year. Industry watchers await Nightreign's three-day sales figures with interest.

Despite stellar player counts, Nightreign faces some criticism. The Steam version currently holds a 'Mixed' rating, with players voicing concerns about the absence of two-player coop mode and voice chat functionality. Additional complaints highlight the punishing solo experience and difficulties forming three-player squads. FromSoftware has acknowledged these issues and plans to release a solo-play difficulty patch next week.

As noted in IGN's Elden Ring Nightreign review: "The crucial caveat bears repeating: unless you're an exceptionally skilled Elden Ring player who deliberately seeks maximum challenge, Nightreign's solo mode simply isn't viable in its current state. While technically offering single-player options, the balance issues are so severe that adjustments seem inevitable within the launch window. This comes from someone deeply immersed in challenging action RPGs."
