Elden Ring Network Test: Registrations Open Tomorrow

Elden Ring Nightreign's first network test registration opens January 10th, exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This limited beta, scheduled for February 2025, offers a sneak peek at the upcoming co-op Soulsborne experience announced at The Game Awards 2024.

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco's Elden Ring Nightreign, targeting a 2025 release, is designed for three-player parties within The Lands Between. This initial network test, typical for multiplayer titles, will have limited participant slots, with the exact number yet undisclosed.

How to Register:

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.
4. Participate in the February 2025 test.

Platform Limitations:

The beta's exclusivity to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is noteworthy, representing less than half of the game's planned platforms (PS4, Xbox One, and PC are also slated for release). Cross-platform play is not supported, limiting interaction to players on the same console. Progress made during the beta likely won't transfer to the full game. Further betas are possible, though unconfirmed.

Gameplay Restrictions:

Beyond the platform limitations, Elden Ring Nightreign will only support solo or three-player parties, excluding duo gameplay. Whether the network test will impose additional restrictions remains uncertain.
