Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: A Two-Platform Limited Beta
Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails by February 2025, the planned test period. Specific dates will be announced soon. Importantly, this beta is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This excludes PS4, Xbox One, and PC, representing less than half of the game's target platforms. Cross-platform play is not supported, limiting players to those on the same console.
While unconfirmed, progress during the test likely won't carry over to the full game. Further betas are possible, though unannounced.
Beyond the lack of cross-platform play, Elden Ring Nightreign's online functionality is limited to solo play or parties of three; two-player parties are not supported. Whether additional restrictions apply to the network test remains unclear.
