Summary
AnotherElden Ring Nightreignpatch is here, and it’s good news for anyone playing solo. Followingcomplaints about the game’s balancing,FromSoftwareis giving everyone on single-player a buff, hopefully making everything more manageable.
However, it’s bad news for everyonewaiting for matchmaking improvements. Despite long queue times being a known issue, the patch notes make no mention of bringing them down, so you might still be in for a lenghty wait if you’re wanting to try out the multiplayer.
Elden Ring Nightreign’s June 2 Update Rolls Out On All Platforms
As per thepatch notes, the following changes have been made to single-player:
Judging from these notes, we’re not getting any nerfs to enemies in solo play. Modders havealready tried their hand at scaling the difficultyif this update doesn’t go far enough, and will no doubt continue to do so as we all attempt to take on this latest FromSoft release.
As for matchmaking, we’ll have to wait and see if there are any improvements there. Right now, it seems that anyone queuing as part of a duo is the worst affected, as they are struggling to find another player to fill make up a team. Simply playing as a duo isn’t an option in the game yet, butit’s been suggested that this could be added post-launch, so you might not have to find a random to play with you and your buddy for too much longer.
Elden Ring Nightreign is out now, available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The multiplayer is cross-gen, but not cross-play - so PS4 and PS5 players can team up together, but they can’t get anyone on Xbox and PC to join in.
