Elden Ring Nightreign has announced details of its first network test, taking place this February. Here’s how to get involved and play the game early.

Elden Ring Nightreign 's first network test is going live next month, but you'll only be able to play for three hours a day on most of its available days, unfortunately for the sickos who want to grind and maybe get bullied by infamously hard Dark Souls bosses well into the night.

Nightreign still doesn’t have a release date, but its first online playtests do. FromSoftware has revealed times for when players can get their hands on the upcoming multiplayer spin-off, and signups for the free network tests on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S are now underway.

Discover the excitement surrounding Nightreign, the highly anticipated co-op spin-off to Elden Ring. Get a sneak peek at the Network Test and what's in store for players.

To register, head to the Bandai Namco website and enter your details. It's worth noting that registration closes January 20, and only offers a chance to join the Elden Ring Nightreign network test. The test is open to those who do not subscribe to PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Core.

You can sign up for the Elden Ring Neightreign network test over on Bandai Namco’s official website. Registration opens at 8am CT/2pm GMT on Jan. 10, with no end date currently set.
