FromSoftware shared this exciting news on their Twitter (X) page on January 30, 2025, and fans have been quick to share their joy and gratitude for being selected to participate in this exclusive event.

If you've received your confirmation, keep an eye out for a follow-up email on February 11, 2025. This email will include a unique code that you can use to download the Network Test client on your preferred platform, available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

What is the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test?

FromSoftware describes the network test as a "preliminary verification test" where selected testers will get to play a portion of the game before its full launch. The test is crucial for the company to conduct "various technical verifications of online systems" through large-scale network load tests. This will help FromSoftware ensure that their servers can handle the influx of players at launch.

The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test is scheduled to run from February 14 to February 16, 2025, and participants can join five different 3-hour 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

Beware of Scammers and Scalpers

Unfortunately, with every exciting event comes the risk of scams. There have been reports of fraudulent invites circulating on Steam for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. These invites lead to suspicious pages that can hack your account and cause you to spam your friends with the same scam. Remember, FromSoftware only conducted registrations and confirmations through their official website and social media accounts. Any links outside of these should be treated with caution.

Additionally, scalpers are already trying to cash in on the hype. Even though the codes won't be available until February 11, listings for "confirmed test codes" have appeared on various buy-and-sell sites, with prices ranging from $150 to $200, and some even being auctioned off. Be wary of these offers, as they're likely scams.
