When was the Elden Ring Nightreign beta? The Lands Between beckons us once more for a standalone expansion that introduces a roguelike loop into FromSoftware's formula. Playtests are the perfect opportunity to get early access and discover if a dedicated multiplayer version of this landmark RPG is for you.
The first soulslike game ahead of launch. Here's all the details about the last beta, and the latest news on whether another is in the pipeline.
Elden Ring Nightreign beta times
The Elden Ring Nightreign beta ran from Friday, February 14 to Monday, February 17, 2025.
Historically, FromSoftware has only held a single beta test period ahead of major releases. However, the Elden Ring Nightreign server saw severe disruption during its first session on PS5. Following the session, FromSoftware released a statement that "an additional network test session is being considered."
Like Elden Ring's network test, the Nightreign beta was divided into five three-hour sessions across its four-day period. We expect a similar structure for any follow-up tests.
The Nightreign beta times were as follows:
- Friday, February 14: 3am-6am PT/ 6am-9am ET / 11am-2pm GMT / 12pm-3pm CET / 10pm-1am AEDT
- Saturday, February 15: 7pm-10pm PT / 10pm-1am ET / 3am-6am GMT / 4am-7am CET / 2pm-5pm AEDT
- Saturday, February 15: 11am-2pm PT / 2pm-5pm ET / 7pm-10pm GMT / 8pm-11pm CET / 6am-9am AEDT
- Sunday, February 16: 3am-6am PT / 6am-9am ET / 11am-2pm GMT / 12pm-3pm CET / 10pm-1am AEDT
- Monday, February 17: 7pm-10pm PT / 10pm-1am ET / 3am-6am GMT / 4am-7am CET / 2pm-5pm AEDT
How to sign up for the Elden Ring Nightreign beta
