The file size for the upcoming Elden Ring Network Test has been revealed and it won’t take up much of your hard drive space. Thankfully.
Last month, Elden Ring suffered a short delay pushing it back from January to February. Yet, with the delay came the announcement of a Network Test which begins this month.
Up until this point, we’ve not known how much hard drive space the Network Test will take up. However, those numbers are now in and it’s perhaps not as bad as you thought it might be.
As revealed by Twitter account PlayStation Game Size, it’s been detailed that the Elden Ring Network Test will only take up 6.888GB. Although it is worth keeping in mind that this file size is without an update, so it may be a little larger. Furthermore, the file size has also only been revealed for PS5, but I imagine it will be a similar size across platforms.
Can I take part in the Elden Ring Network Test?
It’s unlikely at this time. When the Network Test was announced, you needed to register by November 1st to be in with a chance.
