Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: Confirmation Emails Sent, Scams Emerge
FromSoftware has begun distributing confirmation emails for the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test. This follows the January 30th, 2025 announcement on their Twitter (X) account. Excited fans are sharing their confirmation emails online.
A follow-up email containing a unique download code for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S test client will arrive on February 11th, 2025. The test itself runs from February 14th to 16th, 2025, with five 3-hour sessions:
- Session 1: February 14th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
- Session 2: February 14th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT
- Session 3: February 15th, 11 AM - 2 PM PT
- Session 4: February 16th, 3 AM - 6 AM PT
- Session 5: February 16th, 7 PM - 10 PM PT
FromSoftware describes the test as a preliminary verification to assess online systems and server capacity under heavy load.
Beware of Scams and Scalpers:
Unfortunately, the excitement surrounding the test has also attracted scammers and scalpers. Reports indicate a Steam-based scam involving fraudulent invitations redirecting users to malicious websites for account compromise. FromSoftware emphasizes that official registration and communication occurred solely through their website and social media. Any other links should be treated with extreme caution.
Scalpers are already attempting to profit from the limited access, listing purported "confirmed test codes" for exorbitant prices ($150-$200) on various online marketplaces, despite codes not being available until February 11th.
Elden Ring Nightreign, initially unveiled at the Game Awards 2024, is slated for release in 2025 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A precise release date remains unannounced. For the latest updates, visit our Elden Ring Nightreign page.
