Elden Ring Nightreign Matchmaking: Here's How You Can Fix It

Before the Libra boss and Fathom of Night, prepare to face the first boss: Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking. Developers Fromsoftware’s matchmaking system has been a source of headaches for many players since the game’s launch. Elden Ring Nightreign is built around online co-op play, so when matchmaking breaks, it’s a big deal. If you’re stuck waiting for a match or keep seeing errors, you’re not alone.

Here’s a simple guide to help you fix the Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking issue.

Why Is Elden Ring Nightreign Matchmaking Not Working?

This problem can happen on any platform—PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. Most of the time, it’s because your system can’t connect to the game’s servers. Sometimes the issue is on your end, and sometimes it’s on the game’s side.

Quick Fixes for Elden Ring Nightreign Matchmaking

Here are the best ways to fix Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking not working:

Restart the Game or Switch Modes

The fastest fix is to restart the game. Just close it completely and open it again. If you want something even quicker, go to the network settings in the main menu, switch to offline mode, wait a few seconds, and then switch back to online. This refreshes your connection to the servers. Many players (including us) have found this works most of the time.

Check Your Internet Connection

It sounds simple, but a weak or slow internet connection can mess up matchmaking. Make sure your Wi-Fi or wired connection is stable. If things are slow, try restarting your router. If that doesn’t help, call your internet provider.

Check If the Game’s Servers Are Online

There isn’t an official website to check the Elden Ring Nightreign server status yet. But you can look at the bottom right corner of the main menu. If it says “online,” the servers are up. If not, you might just have to wait until the servers are back.

Turn On Cross-Region Matchmaking

Even though the “matchmaking not working” error isn’t always about cross-region play, turning on cross-region matchmaking can help. Since Elden Ring Nightreign doesn’t have cross-play, you can’t play with friends on other platforms, but you can still match with players from other regions. Go to your network settings and make sure cross-region matchmaking is enabled. This can make finding a match much faster, especially during off-peak hours.

What If Nothing Works?

If you’ve tried everything and Elden Ring Nightreign matchmaking is still not working, you might have to wait for a patch from FromSoftware. You can also try playing solo for a while. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing. Based on FromSoftware’s history, they usually fix these problems pretty quickly.
