From Software has made it clear that Elden Ring: Nightreign will support cross-generational play for players within the same console family, but cross-play will not be available. This means that, for instance, a PlayStation 4 gamer can team up with someone on PlayStation 5, and Xbox One users can connect with Xbox Series X and S owners. This decision follows a similar structure established in the original Elden Ring, which limited summoning assistance to players within the same platform family.
