May 31, 2025: We’ve added a few steps FromSoftware recommends following if you’re having trouble with Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking.
Is Elden Ring Nightreign down? It isn’t often that you have to check the server status of a FromSoft game, but Nightreign is a different beast completely. While you have the option of taking on the game’s many bosses alone, it’s a much better experience with friends – but for that to happen, the servers need to be online.
Thankfully, if the Elden Ring Nightreign servers are down, you can still jump in solo. As we mentioned in our Elden Ring Nightreign review, the solo experience can feel punishing for those who aren’t already experienced with the roguelike game. Here is the Elden Ring Nightreign server status so you can plan your adventure accordingly.
Elden Ring Nightreign server status
The Elden Ring Nightreign servers are currently online. A large influx of players over the launch weekend may cause server issues, similar to those observed during the first beta test, where many were stuck staring at an offline message until the issue was resolved.
After the disastrous beta test, the Elden Ring X account posted, “We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the game server issues. Work is currently ongoing to improve the stability of the network test.” Giving us hope that a widespread issue like that won’t happen again. Here’s how to play Nightreign solo if you have to, though.
How to fix Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking issues
If you’re still having trouble matchmaking in Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware’s official player support socials recently put out this relatively simple suggestion that might make all the difference:
“If you encounter issues finding other players when launching an expedition in #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN, please try restarting the matchmaking process. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
With that, we’re hoping that the launch continues to go smoothly so we can all start to master the Nightreign classes. Check out our Nightreign bosses guide for information on each of your major opponents, and our Nightreign skins piece so you can look good while you slay.
