Elden Ring Nightreign Scalpers and Scammers Already on the Loose

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, announced via their Twitter (X) account on January 30, 2025. 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 11, 2025. The registration period, which ran from January 10th to 20th, 2025, has concluded, and there's currently no word on additional test opportunities.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Details

FromSoftware describes the network test as a preliminary verification to assess online system performance under heavy load. This large-scale test will help determine server capacity for simultaneous players. The test runs from February 14th to 16th, 2025, with 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

Beware of Scams and Scalpers

Reports indicate a surge in fraudulent activity. Users are receiving fake Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test invites via Steam, leading to account compromises and spam messages. FromSoftware emphasizes that legitimate invites are only distributed through their official website and social media channels.

Furthermore, scalpers are already attempting to profit from the limited access. Numerous listings on online marketplaces offer "confirmed test codes" at exorbitant prices, ranging from $150 to $200, with some even auctioned off. Remember, codes won't be available until February 11th.

Elden Ring Nightreign, initially revealed during the Game Awards 2024, 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.
