Here Are The Exact Release Times For ‘Elden Ring Nightreign'
Elden Ring Nightreign
Elden Ring Nightreign launch is upon us, and tomorrow (well, sometime tonight, depending on your region), FromSoft's third Elden-based game will go live.
If you're wondering exactly when you can play, FromSoft has listed the release times. However, it's worth noting that pre-load has already gone live on all platforms including PlayStation, Xbox and Steam, so that can save you some time if you want to do that now.
Here are the global release times for Elden Ring Nightreign:
Thursday, May 29, 2025
PDT: Console: 9pm, PC: 3pm
CDT: Console: 11pm, PC: 5pm
COT: Console: 11pm, PC: 5pm
Friday, May 30, 2025

Elden Ring Nightreign
So, you see the pattern here in that almost all regions have their console launch at 12am local time, except for a few lucky regions at the top of that list. PC, meanwhile, is almost a completely simultaneous release around the world, so when you start playing depends on your platform. PC is earlier, in many instances.
Elden Ring Nightreign is a big departure for FromSoftware. The multiplayer-only co-op game includes roguelike elements of grinding out enemies and killing bosses in a three-day cycle. Reviews just came in for the game yesterday, and with a 78 metascore, that's quite low for a FromSoft game, and especially one in the Elden Series. It's not rated that low purely for being a multiplayer experiment, but for things like poor solo balance, no duos and no voice chat in a game that desperately needs it.
It stands to reason that the game will probably still do well given From and Elden's pedigree, but those who love the base game may have some trouble getting on board with this entirely different format. We'll see how it does starting tomorrow.
