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 be sent on February 11th, 2025. The network test itself runs from February 14th to 16th, 2025, offering 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 attracted scammers and scalpers. Reports indicate a Steam-based scam involving fraudulent invites redirecting users to malicious websites, potentially compromising accounts and spreading the scam via mass messaging. FromSoftware emphasizes that legitimate registration and confirmation occurred solely through their official website and social media channels.
Furthermore, despite codes not being released until February 11th, online marketplaces are already flooded with listings of purported "confirmed test codes" priced exorbitantly at $150-$200 or more, some even auctioned off. These should be avoided.
Elden Ring Nightreign, initially unveiled at the 2024 Game Awards, 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. For the latest updates, visit our Elden Ring Nightreign page.
