Elden Ring: Watch Out for Scalpers, Scammers Run Rampant
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. This follows their January 30th, 2025 announcement on Twitter (X). Excited fans are sharing their confirmation emails online.
Those selected will receive a second email on February 11th, 2025, containing a unique code to download the test client for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The registration period ran from January 10th to 20th, 2025. Unfortunately, FromSoftware hasn't indicated whether additional test opportunities will be available.
The Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test: A Technical Deep Dive
FromSoftware describes the network test as a crucial "preliminary verification" phase, allowing them to assess online systems under significant load. This large-scale test will help determine server capacity for concurrent 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
- Session 5: February 16th, 7 PM – 10 PM PT
Beware of Scammers and Scalpers
Reports indicate a surge in fraudulent activity on Steam. Users are receiving fake Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test invites leading to malicious websites designed to steal accounts and spam contacts. FromSoftware emphasizes that legitimate invitations originate only from their official website and social media channels.
Adding insult to injury, scalpers are already attempting to profit from the limited access. Despite codes not being released until February 11th, listings for "confirmed test codes" are appearing on various online marketplaces, commanding exorbitant prices of $150-$200 or more.
Elden Ring Nightreign: Looking Ahead
Announced during the Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign 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.
