Elden Ring Nightreign Matchmaking Not Working
Many Elden Ring Nightreign players on PS4 and PS5 have reported an annoying issue where they get stuck in endless matchmaking queues, unable to connect to multiplayer games. This matchmaking bug seems to be unique to PlayStation consoles, causing frustration for those eager to enjoy the game's cooperative and competitive modes.
This means PlayStation players can only match with other PlayStation users. So, when some PS players face matchmaking difficulties, it drastically reduces the available pool of opponents and allies, making successful connections even harder. Fortunately, FromSoftware has already suggested a simple fix to resolve this issue.
How to Fix Elden Ring Nightreign Matchmaking Not Working?
FromSoftware’s official player support recently tweeted a straightforward solution for the endless matchmaking bug:
-
When stuck in matchmaking, pause the matchmaking process from the in-game menu.
-
Then, choose the option to deploy again.
This action refreshes the matchmaking attempt and often allows players to successfully join multiplayer games without restarting the entire game or console.
Can You Play Elden Ring Nightreign Solo?
Yes! If matchmaking issues continue to disrupt your multiplayer experience, remember that you can still enjoy Elden Ring Nightreign in solo mode without connecting to other players. This way, you won’t be locked out of the game completely.
When Will the Matchmaking Issue Be Fully Resolved?
FromSoftware is actively monitoring the multiplayer servers and working on improving the overall matchmaking system for Elden Ring Nightreign. Although the current fix helps many players, a more permanent solution is expected in upcoming patches.
