The Elder Scrolls Online may not yet be free-to-play, but it’s about to get a bit cheaper. Beginning in March, the MMORPG will be shifting from a subscription-based system to a single retail purchase with no mandatory fees.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will soon become available to all players in just two months. This new iteration includes all the same content, with optional downloadable content, customization, and convenience items handled via additional purchase.
When the changeover happens, anyone who ever had an account can jump back in. Those currently paying a subscription fee will also be enrolled in a new program called ESO Plus. This includes in-game items, a monthly stipend of crowns (used for cosmetic and convenience purchases, and all the DLC.
We though The Elder Scrolls Online suffered from something of a glitch-ridden “identity crisis” in spite of its entertaining story and gameplay at launch. Here’s hoping we get a smoother Elder Scrolls Online experience when it hits Playstation 4 and Xbox One this June 9th.
These versions will launch with everything available on the PC and Mac, including the Justice and Champion systems that were added post-launch.
