Players Can Sign Up for Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Tomorrow

Summary

• The signups for the first Elden Ring Nightreign network test will open on January 10.
• The upcoming beta will be limited to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
• The first Elden Ring Nightreign network test is scheduled to take place sometime in February 2025.

The registrations for the first Elden Ring Nightreign network test are set to open tomorrow, January 10. However, there's a catch: the upcoming test will only be available on less than half of Elden Ring Nightreign's target platforms.

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco unveiled Elden Ring Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024 in December. The anticipated title offers a co-op Soulsborne adventure in The Lands Between, tailored for three-player parties. Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for a 2025 release.

As with many multiplayer games, Elden Ring Nightreign will have at least one network test before its launch. Signups for this limited-time beta open on Friday, January 10. From that date, fans can register via the official website. While these betas typically have a limited number of spots, neither FromSoftware nor Bandai Namco have revealed the exact number of testers they'll accept. It's possible that this information may not be disclosed at all.

How To Sign Up For Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test

1. Visit the official Elden Ring Nightreign network test website starting January 10.
2. Register for the test and specify your preferred platform.
3. Await an email confirming your participation in the test.
4. Join the test in February 2025.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Is Limited to Only 2 Platforms

Those lucky enough to participate can expect their confirmation email by February 2025, when the test is scheduled. Specific dates for the beta will be announced in the coming weeks. Unfortunately, the test is restricted to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Since Elden Ring Nightreign is also planned for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the test will cover less than half of its intended platforms. FromSoftware has confirmed that Elden Ring Nightreign won't feature cross-platform multiplayer, so the network test will only allow play within the same console ecosystem.

Though not officially confirmed, it's unlikely that progress made during the network test will carry over to the full game. FromSoftware has not yet stated whether more betas for Elden Ring Nightreign will follow, but it's a possibility.

In addition to the absence of cross-platform multiplayer, another limitation concerns party sizes. Elden Ring Nightreign can be played solo or in groups of three, as FromSoftware has opted not to balance the game for duos. It's unclear if the upcoming network test will have further gameplay restrictions.
