This will likely be the only time to test the game before its official release in 2025, so if you want to get ahead of the curve and sign up for the beta network test, we have you covered with all the important dates, times, and links you need.

How to join the Elden Ring Neightreign beta

You can sign up for the Elden Ring Neightreign network test over on Bandai Namco’s official website. Registration opens at 8am CT/2pm GMT on Jan. 10, with no end date currently set. The network test itself starts Feb. 14 till Feb. 17, with the beta being live for different three-hour intervals throughout each day. The full list of times includes:

DateCT timeGMT time
Feb. 14, 20255am to 8am CT11am to 2pm GMT
Feb. 14, 202510pm (Feb. 14) to 1am (Feb. 15) CT
Feb. 15, 20253am to 6am GMT
Feb. 15, 20251pm to 4pm CT7pm to 10pm GMT
Feb. 16, 20255am to 8am CT11am to 2pm GMT
Feb. 17. 202510pm (Feb. 16) to 1am (Feb. 17) CT3am to 6am GMT

The test is only available on Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, so anyone wanting to try the game on PC or older systems won’t be able to participate this time. Signing up for the network test doesn’t guarantee access. Bandai will select a few members to participate.

As the game is an online co-op, it would be great if you and your friends could get into the network test at the same time to try it out. Teams of three need to take off the world and tackle its bosses, but full details on what type of content players can take part in, the classes available, and the bosses you can fight are still unannounced at this time.

Equally, most of the gameplay loop and how the game plays outside of having typical Elden Ring-like creatures and gameplay mechanics is unknown. So this is the first real taste anyone will have to try the game and get a glimpse of how the final product might look in the future.
