FromSoftware's upcoming title will grant early access exclusively to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players. Registration opens January 10th, with testing slated for February. This excludes a large segment of the fanbase from early access.

Bandai Namco has yet to explain the omission of PC players from the testing phase. However, those selected will enjoy a first look at the new game prior to its official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and unsettling world. While console gamers receive this early access privilege, PC users will need to await further announcements regarding potential future testing opportunities.

A notable change in Elden Ring: Nightreign is the removal of the in-game message feature. Director Junya Ishizaki clarified this decision, stating that the approximately forty-minute session length doesn't allow sufficient time for message interaction. His exact quote: "We disabled the messaging feature because there isn't enough time for sending or reading messages during sessions, which last approximately forty minutes."
