How to Join the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test
As I mentioned earlier, only players who enrolled for the network test and received a code can access the Elden Ring Nightreign network test. The test program is now closed, and no new players can apply for the network test. If you have successfully received a code via email, you can redeem it on the PlayStation or Xbox store, depending on the console you will play.
The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test game is around 10 GB in size, and you can pre-download it before the network test commences later today. Once you are all set, you can launch the game and dive in during the session timings I mentioned above.
How Long Is the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test
The first network test for Elden Ring Nightreign is hosted over a long weekend from February 14-16. You can only play during these timings, where each session lasts around 3 hours. As you enter the world of Elden Ring again, each run is estimated to be around 15-30 minutes, according to the early previews from content creators. Therefore, you and your friends can go for at least six to eight different runs during each session.
As this is a network test, we are sure only a few areas and heroes will be available to play first. So, make sure to explore every nook and cranny and smack the first set of bosses in your way starting today.
Having said that, are you planning to play the Elden Ring Nightreign network test later today? Let us know in the comments below.
