This weekend's Elden Ring Nightreign network test may not include us PC players, but that won't stop me from watching from the sidelines with a bucket of popcorn while the servers proverbially burn. And also, you know, installing the thing on my own PlayStation 5 to give things a whirl, only to find myself totally unable to even try the thing out during its first three-hour run.
Yeah, so first of all, Nightreign's network test is kinda weird. Instead of running for a set period of time—you know, like how most games'll run their tests or betas for 48 hours or so—instead it's choosing a sprinkling of three-hour pockets from now until February 17. That first session wrapped up at 6am PST / 9am EST / 2pm GMT today… not that it really matters, since it seems like barely anyone was able to get in anyway.
