Elden Ring Test: Players Can Join Tomorrow

Elden Ring Nightreign's First Network Test: Sign-Ups Open January 10th

The highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign, a cooperative Soulsborne experience, will hold its initial network test starting in February 2025. Registration opens January 10th, exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players.

Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for a 2025 release and will feature three-player co-op gameplay within the Lands Between. This upcoming network test serves as a crucial step in preparing the game for launch.

Limited Platform Availability:

While the game will eventually launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, this initial network test is restricted to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Cross-platform play is not supported, meaning players will only be able to connect with others on the same console. Progress made during the test is not expected to transfer to the final game. Further beta tests are possible, but unconfirmed.

Party Size Restrictions:

Elden Ring Nightreign will support solo play and three-player parties only; two-player parties are not supported. Whether the network test will mirror this restriction remains to be seen.

How to Register:

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

The number of available test slots is currently undisclosed. Specific test dates will be revealed in the coming weeks.
