FromSoftware Sends Confirmation Emails for Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test
FromSoftware officially announced via their Twitter (X) account on January 30, 2025, that confirmation emails for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test have been dispatched to selected applicants. The community is buzzing online, with many fans sharing their confirmation emails and expressing excitement over being chosen to participate in the test.
Selected participants will receive a second email on February 11, 2025, which will include a unique access code required to download the Network Test client. The test will be available exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Registration for the Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test was open from January 10 through January 20, 2025. Unfortunately, there’s no official word yet on whether additional testing phases or future registration windows will be offered for those who didn’t make the cut this time.
Details About the Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test
According to FromSoftware, the purpose of the Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test is to conduct preliminary verification by allowing testers to play a portion of the game ahead of its full release. This large-scale test aims to evaluate the performance of the game’s online systems under real-world conditions and ensure servers can handle high player traffic at launch.
The Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test will run from February 14 to February 16, 2025, and will feature five separate 3-hour sessions:
- Session 1 – February 14, 3 AM to 6 AM PT
- Session 2 – February 14, 7 PM to 10 PM PT
- Session 3 – February 15, 11 AM to 2 PM PT
- Session 4 – February 16, 3 AM to 6 AM PT
- Session 5 – February 16, 7 PM to 10 PM PT
Participants will be able to log in during any of these sessions to experience gameplay elements and help stress-test server capabilities.
Beware of Scams and Scalpers Targeting Fans
Reports have surfaced regarding malicious activity surrounding the Elden Ring: Nightreign Network Test. On platforms like Steam, users are reportedly receiving suspicious invites claiming to grant access to the test. Clicking these links redirects players to phishing websites designed to steal account credentials. Once compromised, these accounts often begin spamming friends with the same fraudulent invite.
It's important to note that FromSoftware only distributes registration and confirmation emails via their official website and verified social media channels. Any unsolicited messages or offers promising early access codes outside of these methods should be treated as potential scams.
In addition to phishing attempts, scalpers have already taken advantage of the situation by listing fake “confirmed test codes” on various buy-and-sell marketplaces. Some listings are priced as high as $150–$200, while others are even up for auction—despite the fact that access codes won't be released until February 11, 2025.
Elden Ring: Nightreign was first revealed during The Game Awards 2024 and is set for release in 2025 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. While an exact release date hasn't been confirmed yet, the network test marks a significant milestone toward the game’s full launch.
