Watch on YouTubeNightreign's test will be available across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, although the developer notes the full game will also be available to those on PC via Steam, as well as Xbox One and PS4 consoles."The network test is a preliminary verification test in which the selected testers play a portion of the game prior to the full game launch," reads the information page for Nightreign's network test (where I also presume a link for registration will also be made available). "Various technical verifications of online systems will be examined by conducting large-scale network load tests."

However, this standalone spin-off is still expanding upon the franchise, and not too long after Elden Ring received its widely praised expansion Shadow of the Erdtree.
