It's fair to say that Elden Ring Nightreign appeared somewhat out of the blue, as it was only announced last December. Perhaps even more surprising are its co-op, rogue-like gameplay and procedurally generated worlds, aspects that most (if not all) of FromSoftware's games eschew.
But that's what we've got, so if the thought of an Elden Ring 'Lite' appeals, you'll want to know how well it runs, yes? Especially given that the original Elden Ring was capped to 60 fps and on some gaming PCs, it was cursed with an ever-present stutter. Well, Elden Ring Nightreign is no better, I'm afraid.
It's nowhere near as bad, thankfully, but regardless of what gaming PC you have, you'll still experience a hiccup or minor pause in the frame rate every now and then. It mostly happens while traversing the game's world, but it also crops up in hectic battles—precisely where you don't want it.
