Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Now Open for Sign-Ups

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Sign-Ups Open January 10th (PS5 & Xbox Series X/S Only)

The first network test for Elden Ring Nightreign begins accepting registrations on January 10th, 2025. However, this initial beta will be exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is a cooperative Soulsborne experience set in The Lands Between, designed for three-player parties. Targeted for a 2025 release, the game will undergo at least one network test prior to launch.

This limited-time beta opens Friday, January 10th. Interested players can register via the official website. While the number of available slots remains undisclosed, securing a spot isn't guaranteed.

How to Register for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test:

1. Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10th.
2. Register, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
3. Await confirmation email (arriving no later than February 2025).
4. Participate in the test during February 2025 (exact dates to be announced).

Platform Limitations:

The beta's exclusivity to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is noteworthy, as the full game will also release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This means the test will only cover a fraction of the target platforms. Cross-platform play is not supported, limiting interaction to players on the same console family.

Progress made during the network test is unlikely to transfer to the final game. Further betas may be announced later.

Gameplay Restrictions:

Beyond the platform limitations, Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo play or three-player parties; two-player parties are not supported. Whether the network test will implement additional gameplay restrictions is yet to be determined.
