Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Sign-Ups Open January 10th
The highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test begins accepting registrations this Friday, January 10th! However, there's a key limitation: this initial beta will only be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
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, the game will undergo at least one network test prior to launch.
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 (arriving no later than February 2025).
- Participate in the test during February 2025. Exact dates will be announced soon.
Platform Limitations:
While Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in addition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, this initial network test excludes these platforms. Furthermore, FromSoftware has confirmed no cross-platform play, meaning players will only be matched with others on the same console. Progress made during the beta is not expected to transfer to the full game. Additional betas may be planned, but this hasn't been officially confirmed.
Gameplay Restrictions:
Beyond platform limitations, Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo play or parties of three; two-player groups are not supported. Whether the network test will include further gameplay restrictions remains to be seen.
