Elden Ring Nightreign preload guide: release date, file size, and more
After the massive base experience with Elden Ring, plus the huge Shadow of the Erdree DLC, we still haven't had our fill of FromSoftware's greatest work. Elden Ring Nightreign takes the base mechanics of the main game and transforms it into a co-op survival game with roguelike elements. While you can play alone, this is a game built for you and your friends to conquer together, although the lack of cross-platform support is a big downer. All the trailers and footage make this game look like a greatest hits of FromSoftware, with tons of returning bosses, armor sets, and locations that we can't wait to discover. To make sure you're not waiting a second longer than you need to, here's all the preorder information about Elden Ring Nightreign, including when preloads begin and how big the game is.
Elden Ring Nightreign release date
We won't have to wait much longer because Elden Ring Nightreign launches on May 30. Unlike many other games, there are no options to buy special editions to access the game early, so we will all start on equal footing.

Elden Ring Nightreign file size
According to PlayStation Game Size, which has accurately shared file sizes for tons of upcoming games, Elden Ring Nightreign will be 21.176 GB on both PS4 and PS5, with an extra 738 MB on top if you get the digital artbook and soundtrack. File sizes don't typically change much between platforms, so Xbox and PC players should expect a similar game size.
To be safe, having at least 25 GB free would be our recommendation.
Elden Ring Nightreign preload options
Anyone who preorders Elden Ring Nightreign can preload the game two days early on May 28. That's handy for those with slow or limited internet, but if you do forget, 21 GB shouldn't take very long at all to download.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1444 Hints, Clues And Answer For Sunday, June 2nd
How to solve today's Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Looking for Sunday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: It's the first Monday of June and some might say the first Monday of summer, though I hew to the solstices, personally. This year, the Summer Solstice takes place on my birthday, June 20th. I like to think the first day of summer is also my day. Mine and mine alone. Still, it may as well be summer outside. Go out and enjoy some sunshine—but first, let's solve this Wordle! The Hint: To make oneself attractive, or to talk about it annoyingly. The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Credit: Erik Kain Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. I don't feel particularly good about my guessing game today, and ultimately I just got super lucky on my fourth guess. STORE left me with 214 words, but rearranging my yellow boxes was pretty unsuccessful. REACH only slashed that number down to 61. GRIEF, sadly, only reduced that number to four. I came up with three possible answers: BREED, FREED and PREEN. I was pretty sure BREED had already been used, so I guessed PREEN and lucky me, that was the Wordle! Today's Wordle Bot Credit: Erik Kain A complete reversal of yesterday's score today. I get 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating me, bringing our June totals to a tie: Erik: 1 point Wordle Bot: 1 point FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder The verb preen comes from late Middle English prenen 'dress or groom oneself,' which in turn derives from Middle Dutch pruinen 'dress up, make neat.' Originally it meant 'to dress or adorn oneself with pride,' and by the mid‑15th century it was applied to birds 'smoothing or arranging their feathers' by analogy to human grooming.

Gaming fans bring electric energy to Rotterdam as TwitchCon arrives
A few metro stops from Rotterdam's Ahoy Arena, chatter is already flowing among gaming fans -- TwitchCon passes swinging from their necks, animal ears perched on their heads. The Dutch city is hosting TwitchCon this weekend -- the annual event run by United States streaming giant Twitch -- where fans can meet their favourite creators and join the celebrations. "I started during the lockdown and I just really like to put on the live stream while I'm working on cosplays or other things," said Larissa, a 24-year-old Dutch woman, who came to meet the creator of the fantasy characters that inspire her. This is Larissa's second TwitchCon, and for the occasion, she is dressed as a half-cyborg, half-minotaur creature with green skin and bright red eyes. "I've been meeting a lot of cool people here, especially when you're in cosplay. People recognize the cosplay and are like, oh, that's the same series I really like. So then you have also something to talk about already." - Electric energy - Like Larissa, thousands of fans from across Europe turned out to meet their favourite creators and watch live e-sports events including Fortnite and Elden Ring, staged by Twitch celebrities. "Most of the work that happens on Twitch is online, it's digital," said Mary Kish, a marketing director at Twitch. "You're streaming with other people, you're hanging out with your community for many hours a week. "What happens at TwitchCon is the culmination of all of that goodwill and all of that joy in person at a con, and the energy is electric," said the 39-year-old, who is from the United States. French streamers JL Tomy and Etoiles -- who have 1.3 million and 1.2 million followers -- were also among those in attendance. "It's fun because there are lots of other partner streamers who are like me," said JL Tomy, 28, whose real name is Toma Abdellaoui. "I'm very much a homebody," said the streamer, whose content focuses on GTA, Valorant, League of Legends and e-sports competitions. Acquired by Amazon in 2014 for roughly $842 million, Twitch is the world's leading streaming platform for gaming, with more than 2.5 million hourly viewers on average. While gaming remains core to Twitch since its 2011 debut, the platform has broadened its reach, drawing in entertainment, sports and political figures, as well as livestreaming other major events. Kish said that Twitch's "Just Chatting" category is now its largest non-gaming segment. "There is a massive variety of other people doing other things. Like food and drink, where people are cooking... people who are showing their aquariums in their houses," Kish said. Reflecting that diversity, visitors attended theatre workshops, built Lego models, or watched the annual Drag Queen show, a TwitchCon staple. TwitchCon's next North American edition is scheduled for October 17–19, 2025, in San Diego. sh/srg/giv
