Fans Receive Elden Ring Nightreign Playtest Confirmation Emails
FromSoftware announced via their Twitter (X) page on January 30, 2025, that confirmation emails have been dispatched to those who applied for the Elden Ring Nightreign network test. Enthusiasts have quickly shared their confirmation emails, buzzing with excitement and thanking FromSoftware for their selection.
Selected participants will receive a follow-up email on February 11, 2025, with a unique code to download the Network Test client on their preferred platform. The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Registration for the network test was open from January 10 to January 20, 2025. Unfortunately, those who applied but did not receive an email have no further information on additional test dates.
Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test
FromSoftware describes the network test as a "preliminary verification test" where selected testers will play a portion of the game before its full launch. The test aims to verify various technical aspects of the online systems through large-scale network load tests, ensuring the servers can handle multiple players simultaneously.
The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test is scheduled from February 14 to February 16, 2025. Participants can join five 3-hour test sessions:
- Session 1 - February 14th from 3 AM to 6 AM PT
- Session 2 - February 14th from 7 PM to 10 PM PT
- Session 3 - February 15th from 11 AM to 2 PM PT
- Session 4 - February 16th from 3 AM to 6 AM PT
- Session 5 - February 16th from 7 PM to 10 PM PT
Scammers and Scalpers Already On The Move
Beware of scams related to the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. Reports indicate fraudulent invites circulating on Steam, which redirect users to suspicious pages that hack accounts and spam friend lists with the same invite. FromSoftware has only conducted registration and confirmations through their official website and social media, so any links outside these channels are likely unauthorized or malicious.
Additionally, scalpers have already listed "confirmed test codes" on various buy-and-sell sites, despite the codes not being available until February 11. These listings are priced exorbitantly at $150-$200, with some even up for auction.
Elden Ring Nightreign was first announced at The Game Awards 2024, set to release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. FromSoftware has indicated a 2025 release window, though no specific date has been confirmed.
