Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Sign-Ups Open January 10th
The highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test begins accepting registrations on January 10th, 2025. This initial beta, however, 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. Targeting a 2025 release, this network test is a crucial step in preparing for launch.
While the exact number of participants remains undisclosed, interested players can register starting January 10th via the official website. Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails no later than February 2025, the month the test is scheduled to run. Specific dates will be revealed soon.
How to Register for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test:
- Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10th.
- Register, specifying your preferred platform (PS5 or Xbox Series X/S).
- Await your confirmation email.
- Participate in the test during February 2025.
Platform Limitations and Other Details:
This initial beta’s exclusion of PS4, Xbox One, and PC is notable, representing less than half of the game's intended platforms. Cross-platform play is not supported, meaning players will only be able to connect with others on the same console family. Progress made during the test is unlikely to carry over to the final game. Further beta tests may be conducted later.
Another key limitation is party size. Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo play or three-player parties; duo play is not currently supported. Whether the network test will impose additional gameplay restrictions remains to be seen.
