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, selected console gamers will enjoy a sneak peek before the official launch.

Elden Ring: Nightreign continues the narrative of its predecessor, offering new challenges within a dark and ominous setting. While console players get early access, 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, citing the approximately forty-minute session length as insufficient time for message interaction. He stated, "We removed the messaging function due to the limited time—roughly forty minutes—available within each play session, making message sending and reading impractical."
