In a Soulsborne game like Elden Ring Nightreign, it’s important to be able to react quickly in those tough boss battles. For many gamers, that means making sure their gaming PC will be able to smoothly run the game without staggering or lag so they can dodge and attack without getting tripped up by poor performance. Now, about a month out from the game’s release, Bandai Namco has unveiled the PC specs so gamers can decide whether to pre-order the game on PC. The post from Bandai Namco includes both the minimum and recommended specs for Elden Ring Nightreign.
If that image is a bit tricky to read, let’s break down what’s included in the minimum and recommended PC specs.

If your PC meets the minimum or required specs, you should be all set to play Elden Ring Nightreign when it comes out on May 30th. It is still available for pre-order for both the standard and deluxe editions, including the pre-order perks.
As of now, Steam Deck compatibility for Elden Ring Nightreign is unknown. So, it’s unclear if the game will run well or at all on Valve’s handheld device. For those who don’t have a gaming PC that meets the PC specs, Elden Ring Nightreign will also be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. A Switch 2 port has not yet been confirmed, but as FromSoftware’s new Duskbloods game will be a Switch 2 console exclusive, it’s fairly likely we could eventually see Elden Ring Nightreign on Switch 2, as well.
