Elden Ring Nightreign Will Have a Network Test Starting February 14

Announced on X (formerly Twitter), the network test will be available on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, and applicants can register to gain access by January 20.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a brand new co-op action-adventure game that was announced during The Game Awards 2024.

However, despite being a co-op game, the game will not be playable as a duo, as the developers announced that the game has been designed to be played either solo or trio.

The developers have already said that the network test is a “preliminary verification test in which the selected testers play a portion of the game prior to the full game launch.” 

“Various technical verifications of online systems will be examined by conducting large-scale network load tests,” the test description reads.

It’s currently unclear how much of the actual game content will be available to players, but anyone with a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S|X can sign up.

First released in 2022, Elden Ring has sold 28.6 million units by September 2024, making it one of the best-selling games of all time, and the fastest-selling game published by Bandai Namco. Shadow of the Erdtree, a DLC for Elden Ring, sold five million copies in its first three days of release.
