Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Limited to Two Platforms

Successful applicants will receive confirmation emails by February 2025, the planned test period. Specific dates will be announced soon. However, the test is exclusively for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, omitting PS4, Xbox One, and PC—more than half the target platforms. Cross-platform play is not supported, limiting interaction to players on the same console.

While unconfirmed, progress during the test likely won't carry over to the full game. Further betas remain a possibility.

Besides lacking cross-platform play, party sizes are restricted to solo or three-player groups; two-player parties are unsupported. Additional gameplay limitations in the network test are currently unknown.
