How do you join the Elden Ring closed beta?
A closed beta, as you probably know, is not open to everybody. In order to have a chance at joining this beta round, you need to register at Bandai Namco’s website.
From here you need to log in or create an account and they choose your platform – PS5 or PS4. Complete the questionnaire about your previous Souls experience and then click submit.
If you are lucky you will be contacted at some point with a beta access code.
What do you get in the Elden Ring closed beta?
The closed beta will allow you to play the “opening hours” of the game in order to let Bandai Namco test the network so it’s fair to say you can probably expect glitches and downtime during the course of the event.
