Elden Ring: Nightreign Gets Unofficial Two-Player Co-Op Thanks to Modder Yui

When Elden Ring: Nightreign launched, FromSoftware offered just two ways to play: solo or in three-player sessions. While the studio has hinted that a dedicated two-player co-op mode might be added later, one modder didn’t wait — and got it working in just 24 hours.

Modder Yui released an updated version of the Seamless Co-op mod, enabling two-player cooperative play just one day after launch.

🔧 Easy Setup, Safe Play

Installing the mod is simple:

• Download the files from Nexus Mods
• Drop them into the game folder
• Launch the included .exe file

The mod runs separately from official servers, doesn’t interfere with Easy Anti-Cheat, and uses its own save files. This means your existing character progress won’t carry over — you’ll need to start a new save, isolated from the base game.

✅ Stable Performance and Steam Support

Players report that the mod is stable and reliable, with no major bugs, crashes, or connection issues. Even Steam invites work seamlessly, making it easy to jump into sessions with friends.

⚔️ The Challenge Remains Intact

Yui confirmed that the original difficulty hasn’t been modified. Bosses and enemies behave exactly as they do in the official version — but that doesn't make things easier.

In fact, the two-player format adds its own challenges. If one player goes down in battle, the other must revive them — and without a third player to draw enemy attention, reviving can become a risky move. This may explain why FromSoftware hasn’t officially introduced a two-player-only mode yet.

Bottom line: If you're eager to explore Nightreign with a friend and don’t want to wait for official support, Yui’s Seamless Co-op mod offers a polished and accessible solution — just be prepared for a tough ride.
