Elden Ring: Nightreign today, just a heads up—FromSoftware is doing some maintenance on the servers. It started early this morning (June 6), and it's supposed to last about two hours. Nothing too major, but yeah, the game will be offline for a little while. It’s happening across all platforms—PC, PlayStation, and Xbox—so no one’s sneaking in to play while others wait.
Honestly, it’s not the worst thing. This patch is aimed at fixing something that’s been bugging a lot of players lately: matchmaking during expeditions when you’ve got a Remembrance going. If you’ve played co-op, you probably know what I’m talking about—it’s just been kinda rough trying to team up at the right time, and things would break for no reason. So this fix? Kinda needed.
What’s actually being fixed?
The main issue they’re trying to sort out is how matchmaking works during certain parts of the game—specifically when a Remembrance is involved. Apparently, it’s been causing problems with connecting players for co-op sessions, especially during expeditions. And for a game like Nightreign, where teaming up can be a big part of the experience, that’s a pretty big deal.
They're not adding anything wild like new bosses or content this time around—it’s more of a behind-the-scenes fix to smooth things out. But still, smoother multiplayer is always a win. Especially when it’s been rough for folks lately. This update should make it easier for players to connect without stuff crashing or timing out.
They’re trying to make things better, little by little
It might not seem like a huge update on paper, but it shows that FromSoftware is really paying attention. Players have been loud about these multiplayer issues, and it’s kinda nice to see the devs actually doing something about it. Small fixes like this can really make the overall experience better.
There’s even talk that they’re working on more new stuff, maybe even a proper two-player mode called “Duo Expeditions” down the line. Nothing official yet, but it’s interesting. For now, though, it’s just good to see them making the effort to clean things up—even if it’s one small patch at a time.
What’s getting fixed this time?
Honestly, it’s not a flashy update. You’re not getting a new boss or cool weapon. This one’s all about fixing multiplayer issues, specifically the way matchmaking behaves when you’ve got a Remembrance active. If you’ve played co-op in Nightreign recently, you’ve probably seen how buggy it can get. Connections drop, players don’t sync right, sometimes it just refuses to pair you with anyone—it’s been frustrating.
This update is aimed at improving all that. No promises it’ll be perfect after this, but if it means fewer broken connections when you're just trying to enjoy the game with a friend, that’s a big win. It’s the kind of quiet patch that makes a big difference behind the scenes.
