Promising new adventures with returning bosses, armor sets, and familiar yet transformed locations, this guide details its official release date, anticipated file size, preload options, and all available preorder editions to ensure you’re ready for launch.
Elden Ring Nightreign Release Date
Mark your calendars: Elden Ring Nightreign is set to launch on May 30. Bandai Namco has confirmed that there will be no early access period tied to special editions, ensuring all players embark on this new journey simultaneously on an equal footing.

Expected File Size for Elden Ring Nightreign
According to data from PlayStation Game Size, a reliable source for upcoming game storage requirements, Elden Ring Nightreign will require approximately 21.176 GB of space on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. An additional 738 MB will be needed if you opt for the digital artbook and soundtrack. While this is specific to PlayStation consoles, file sizes typically remain consistent across platforms, so Xbox and PC players can expect a similar requirement. To be on the safe side, we recommend having at least 25 GB of free storage.

Preload Information
Players who preorder any edition of Elden Ring Nightreign will have the opportunity to preload the game starting May 28, two days before its official release. This is particularly beneficial for those with slower internet connections, allowing ample time to download the game. However, given the roughly 21 GB file size, the download shouldn’t take too long even if you miss the preload window. [internal_links]
