Elden Ring Nightreign, the upcoming co-op-focused spin-off by FromSoftware, is already turning heads across the gaming scene. Cloud gaming fans — especially those using NVIDIA’s service — are asking the big question: Will Nightreign be playable on GeForce Now?

If you were hoping to jump into Nightreign’s boss-packed co-op chaos through GeForce Now, there’s currently no green light for that. And it’s not just the new spin-off that’s missing; even the original Elden Ring never made its way to NVIDIA’s cloud streaming platform.

Despite GeForce Now supporting a wide catalogue of big-name titles, FromSoftware’s world of the Tarnished continues to remain off-limits on the service.

Why Elden Ring Nightreign could skip GeForce Now

There’s no official word from Bandai Namco or FromSoftware about why Nightreign skipped GeForce Now, but there are a few explanations for this quiet absence.

First off, licensing. Publishers sometimes strike platform-specific deals or simply opt to withhold titles from cloud services to maintain tighter control over where and how their games are played. In Elden Ring’s case, this might be a long-standing strategy, especially since even the original game hasn’t touched the cloud on GeForce Now yet.

Then there’s the technical side. Getting a massive title like Nightreign, with its three-player co-op system and procedural world structure, to run smoothly on cloud servers isn’t a walk in the park. It takes a tight partnership between NVIDIA and the developers to make it happen, and it seems that hasn’t been on the cards for FromSoft so far.

Lastly, it could be a strategic play. The studio might prefer to push direct sales on platforms like Steam, PlayStation Store, and Xbox Game Store — all of which currently host Nightreign’s pre-orders.
