FromSoftware has officially kicked off the excitement for Elden Ring Nightreign by sending out confirmation emails for the upcoming network test. Dive into the details of the network test and stay vigilant against the emerging scams.

Fans Receive Elden Ring Nightreign Playtest Confirmation Emails

FromSoftware took to their Twitter (X) account on January 30, 2025, to announce that confirmation emails for the Elden Ring Nightreign network test have been dispatched. Fans who have been eagerly awaiting this opportunity are sharing their excitement across social media, thankful for being selected to participate.

If you've received your confirmation email, keep an eye out for a follow-up email on February 11, 2025. This email will include a unique code necessary for downloading the Network Test client, compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

FromSoftware opened the registration window for the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test from January 10 to January 20, 2025. Unfortunately, those who applied but did not receive an email should note that no additional information has been provided about further testing dates.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test

FromSoftware describes the network test as a "preliminary verification test" where selected testers will experience a segment of the game before its official launch. This test will also conduct "large-scale network load tests" to evaluate the robustness of the online systems.

The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test is scheduled to run from February 14 to February 16, 2025, with participants able to join five separate 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

Be wary of scams circulating on platforms like Steam. Reports indicate that some players are receiving fraudulent invites to the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test. Clicking on these invites can redirect you to malicious sites, potentially compromising your account and causing you to inadvertently spam your friends list with the same invite. Remember, FromSoftware only utilizes their official website and social media for registration and confirmation; any other source is likely unauthorized or harmful.

Additionally, scalpers have jumped into action following the confirmation email announcements. Despite the codes not being available until February 11, listings for "confirmed test codes" have appeared online with exorbitant prices ranging from $150 to $200, and some are even being auctioned off.

Elden Ring Nightreign was unveiled during the Game Awards 2024 and is slated for release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. While FromSoftware has confirmed a 2025 release window, an exact date has yet to be announced.
