Unfortunately, the Elden Ring beta is not open to everybody — it's a closed beta test. This means only a select number of players will be able to join in. How can you play Elden Ring's closed beta?

To be in with a chance at getting into the Elden Ring beta, you need to register on Bandai Namco's website. Here are all the steps:
  • Visit Bandai Namco's website via this link.
  • Log into your account, or create a new one and then log in.
  • Choose your platform (PS5 or PS4).
  • You'll then be asked which Souls games you've played before. Tick all the ones that apply.
  • Click submit, and your registration will be complete.
Following this, you're not guaranteed entry to the Elden Ring closed beta, but successful applicants will be contacted by Bandai Namco with a code.

Someone in in this thread will give me their key.

I'm good, I didn't want to try it anyway, I'm just saving myself for the real experience, anyone who plays this is just going to ruin the experience for themselves and honestly you should feel ashamed for even signing up in the first place I mean seriously why keep reading this

No code yet, getting worried as I'm normally lucky with beta codes

If anyone has a spare ps5 code after usp84 usp84 gets theirs I'll happily take one and pay it forward if mine comes thru later this week

Damn, I was hoping I'd have a higher chance of getting in if I went for a PS5 code (smaller pool of people to test on PS5s). I was probably removed from the candidate pool because I applied for PS4 and PS5 multiple times with the same email :messenger_grinning_sweat:
