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 30th, 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 network test client will be sent on February 11th, 2025. The 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

This network test serves as a crucial "preliminary verification" to assess online system capabilities and server load under large-scale multiplayer conditions. Registration, which ran from January 10th to 20th, 2025, is now closed, with no further test dates announced.

Beware of Scams!

Reports indicate a surge in fraudulent activity on Steam, with malicious invites mimicking official Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test invitations. These links lead to phishing sites designed to steal accounts and spam contacts. FromSoftware emphasizes that legitimate invitations are only distributed via their official website and social media channels.

Adding to the concern, scalpers are already attempting to profit from the limited access. Despite codes not being released until February 11th, listings offering "confirmed test codes" for exorbitant prices ($150-$200) have appeared on various online marketplaces.

Elden Ring Nightreign, initially revealed at the Game Awards 2024, is slated for release in 2025 across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A precise release date remains unannounced.
