Applications are now open for The Duskbloods Network Test, and the window doesn’t stay open long, closing on July 28 at 6:59 AM Pacific (9:59 AM Eastern). Participants are selected in the order they applied, so getting your entry in early is the way to go, especially since the full schedule already confirmed slots are limited across the five test sessions running August 21 to 23.
The application page confirms you’ll need to be at least 17 years old to participate, on top of the previously detailed requirements of a Switch 2, a Nintendo Switch Online membership, and a linked Nintendo Account. One entry per person is all you get. Repeated applications from the same user will be rejected, selection results land on your Nintendo Account page starting August 7 at 6:00 AM Pacific (9:00 AM Eastern), and successful applicants can redeem their download code for The Duskbloods Network Test Ver. on the Nintendo Store or Nintendo eShop beginning August 18 at 6:00 AM Pacific (9:00 AM Eastern).
The fine print covers a few more expectations, as testers are asked to report issues during play and fill out a survey afterward, while the in-development build comes with no tech support and save data that won’t carry over to the final release. Buying or selling entry to the test is against the Terms of Use, and the schedule can still change without notice.
