FromSoftware has begun distributing confirmation emails for the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign network test, announced via their Twitter (X) account on January 30th, 2025. 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 be sent on February 11th, 2025. The network test itself runs from February 14th to 16th, 2025, with five 3-hour sessions:

Beware of Scams:
Reports indicate a phishing scam circulating on Steam, using fake Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test invites to compromise accounts and spread malicious links. FromSoftware emphasizes that official communication regarding the test only originates from their website and social media channels.
Furthermore, 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 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A precise release date remains unannounced.
