Bandai Namco and FromSoftware opened the signups page for the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign Closed Network Test beta and confirmed the dates it will run. The official site is now open for potential console players to sign up, and it will take place between February 14-16, 2025.
As this is a closed beta, there is no guarantee everyone who registers will get to play. Bandai Namco will randomly select from those who meet requirements. To take part, you need to be in a country in North America, Central America, or South America. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are the only options, even though the “platform of choice” section of the survey does mention the PC version. You need to be over 17 years old too.
Here is the full schedule for the Elden Ring Nightreign Closed Network Test, which will consist of five beta sessions.
- February 14, 2025: Starts at 3am PT/6am ET and ends at 6am PT/9am ET.
- February 14, 2025: Starts at 7pm PT/10pm ET and ends at 10pm PT/1am ET.
- February 15, 2025: Starts at 11am PT/2pm ET and ends at 2pm PT/5pm ET.
- February 16, 2025: Starts at 3am PT/6am ET and ends at 6am PT/9am ET.
- February 16, 2025: Starts at 7pm PT/10pm ET and ends at 10pm PT/1am ET.
The goal of this beta will be to check the “large-scale network load.” Those of us who get to participate will be able to work together in teams of three to take on challenges. FromSoftware and Bandai Namco didn’t note specific bosses or areas that will appear.
Elden Ring Nightreign will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC in 2025. The Closed Network Test runs February 14-16, 2025.
