Elden Ring Nightreign sells 2 million copies in first 24 hours

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco's Elden Ring Nightreign has rapidly surpassed 2 million players within a day of its release and amassed over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam. 

Notably, Elden Ring Nightreign is unavailable on subscription services like Xbox Game Pass, suggesting that the 2 million player count closely reflects copies sold. The game also reached over 310,000 concurrent users on Steam (according to SteamDB), though player feedback has been mixed (66% on Steam user reviews). Still, the number of concurrent users will likely be beaten during its first weekend.

Common criticisms to the game include a perceived lack of options for solo players and the absence of crossplay, which is often expected in modern multiplayer titles. Despite these complaints, reviewers have praised it as being quite fun, featuring many of what made the original Elden Ring a great game. The game currently has an OpenCritic score of 80, with 79% of critics recommending it.
