The first playtest of the Elden Ring Nightreign beta ran early on Friday, but severe server issues meant that almost nobody could actually play.

Elden Ring Nightreign’s first network test — ongoing at the time of this article’s publication — is suffering from significant server issues that have prevented many from playing.

FromSoftware has apologized for the server issues during Elden Ring Nightreign's now-finished network test and is considering another session in the future, so you may still get to play the game before launch.
