Care for a $250 multiplayer invite?

Elden Ring Nightreign will soon begin conducting its short beta test sessions, but if you never managed to even register, there's still hope for you – US scalpers are selling their session invites for up to $300.

One brave UK seller even lists their eBay "buy it now" price for £400, or nearly $500. Since players will only have limited time to play Nightreign during its network test, that comes out to, oh, just $170 an hour. Though, it's worth noting that $500 is undoubtedly more expensive than the full co-op adventure will be when it releases at some point this year. It might be more worthwhile to put your money into buying the official Shadow of the Erdtree puzzle fifteen times.

Nightreign resellers – who have listed their beta invites for $100, $200, $250 and more – seem to be facing the same ice cold reality. On eBay, the only invite that's sold as of writing was priced at $40. That's still a ridiculous price tag on a free beta opportunity, but it's not as egregious as $500.
