Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test: All Start Times and How to Access Guide 2

How Do You Access the Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test?

Access to the Elden Ring Nightreign beta test has been based on email sign-ups that FromSoftware was accepting last month. If you were accepted, you'll have received an email containing your download code. Having downloaded the app, you'll be able to access the beta test at the stated times above.

Unfortunately, if you didn't sign up for a chance to get an Elden Ring Nightreign beta test code when they were being accepted, you won't be able to play. The only chance you have is to see if any of your friends have a spare code or search online for one. There is no other way to access the beta test; it's not being made public on any storefronts.

How Do You Get an Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test Code?

Unless you signed up for a beta test code when FromSoftware was accepting applicants last month, there's no real way to get one now. There's a chance the developer will offer drops of multiple codes on its social media accounts, or a friend you know might have one spare. However, the official way of gaining access to the Elden Ring Nightreign beta test has now passed.

What Can You Play the Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test On?

The Elden Ring Nightreign beta test is available to play on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. While the full game will also be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the beta test isn't on those platforms.

Do You Need PS Plus to Play the Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test?

No, an active PS Plus membership is not required to play the Elden Ring Nightreign beta test. As long as you have your code, the client downloaded, and an internet connection, you can play the beta test at the start times stated above.

What Can You Play in the Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test?

All FromSoftware has confirmed is the Elden Ring Nightreign beta test will contain "a portion of the game". It's expected you'll be able to play a full session of the game, working through its day and night cycle and fighting bosses at the end. All the classes will probably be pickable also.

Are There Rewards for Playing the Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test?

No rewards have been confirmed for the Elden Right Nightreign beta test that you could carry over to the full game.

Does Your Progress in the Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Test Carry Over to the Full Game?

It's been confirmed that none of your progress will carry over into the full game. This beta test is just a taster of what's to come, and you'll need to start over again when the game releases.
