The first network test for Elden Ring Nightreign opens for registration on January 10th, 2025, offering a limited-time opportunity to experience this upcoming co-op Soulsborne title. However, this initial test will only be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is slated for a 2025 release and focuses on three-player cooperative gameplay within The Lands Between. This upcoming network test serves as a crucial step in preparing the game for launch.

While registration begins Friday, January 10th via the official website, the number of available slots remains undisclosed. Expect high demand and a potentially competitive selection process.

Platform Limitations and Other Details:

This initial test's exclusivity to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is noteworthy, considering the game's planned release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. FromSoftware has confirmed no cross-platform multiplayer, impacting the network test's player pool. Progress made during the beta is not expected to carry over to the final game.

Further network limitations include the absence of two-player parties; Elden Ring Nightreign will support solo or three-player gameplay only. Whether the network test will include additional gameplay restrictions remains to be seen. The possibility of future beta tests is also unconfirmed.
