Elden Ring Nightreign Beta Start And End Times

The first Elden Ring Nightreign closed beta has been and gone, but there’s a chance that FromSoftware could announce a second test period. Given how close we are to the Nightreign release date, any future beta might be your only chance to play the 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

Registration for the Elden Ring Nightreign beta has now closed. You could opt into the network test by registering on the official site from Friday, January 10 until Monday, January 20, 2025.
Eligible beta participants received their codes to download the Nightreign beta client on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
This beta was exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, this was the only major restriction. This network test didn’t require PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Core, and you didn’t need Elden Ring or Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to access it.
