Guide: The Duskbloods Network Test Sign Up Dates, Times & How To Join
FromSoftware’s upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Duskbloods is moving into its network test phase, offering selected players their first hands-on experience with the highly anticipated title. The closed network test is scheduled to take place in late August, with download codes now available for approved participants.
Access to the network test was restricted through an application process conducted in July, limiting participation to players who successfully signed up during that period. This selective approach is typical for network tests, allowing developers to gather feedback from a controlled group before wider release.
Duskbloods marks FromSoftware’s entry into the Switch 2 ecosystem, coming from the studio behind acclaimed titles Dark Souls and Elden Ring. The network test represents the first opportunity for Switch 2 owners to experience gameplay from the studio’s new project, generating significant interest within the FromSoftware fan community.
The test allows developers to stress-test online infrastructure, gather player feedback, and identify technical issues before the game’s full launch. Network tests of this nature are common in the industry, particularly for online-focused games, and provide valuable data to help refine the final product.
For approved participants who received download codes, the network test offers an early glimpse into what FromSoftware has in store for Switch 2 players. The company has not yet announced a specific release date for Duskbloods, but the network test indicates the project is progressing toward launch.
