Bandai Namco, in collaboration with FromSoftware, has officially opened the sign-up page for the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign Closed Network Test beta, along with confirmed testing dates. This exclusive opportunity is available for console players interested in joining the beta, which is scheduled to take place from February 14 to 16, 2025. For more details and sign up, visit the official website.
As this is a closed beta, participation is not guaranteed for everyone who registers. Bandai Namco will conduct a random selection process for eligible candidates. To qualify, players must reside in North America, Central America, or South America, and only PS5 and Xbox Series X players are eligible. Interestingly, while the survey includes a section mentioning potential interest in a PC version, it appears not to be part of the test. Additionally, participants must be over 17 years old.
Test Schedule for the Elden Ring Nightreign Closed Network
The beta will consist of five scheduled sessions across the three-day event. Here’s the complete timetable:
- February 14, 2025: 3 AM PT / 6 AM ET to 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET
- February 14, 2025: 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET to 10 PM PT / 1 AM ET
- February 15, 2025: 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET to 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET

- February 16, 2025: 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET to 10 PM PT / 1 AM ET
The primary objective of this beta test is to assess the game’s “large-scale network load.” Participants will have the chance to collaborate in teams of three to overcome various challenges, although the specific bosses and areas included in the test have not yet been revealed by FromSoftware and Bandai Namco.
