The Elder Scrolls Online Is Free To Play Until Next Week (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

If you're stuck at home with not much to do and looking for an online game to get into, we've got some good news for you: Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls Online is offering free access to its base game on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in April. Starting today and until April 13, you can play The Elder Scrolls Online for free on PS4 and Xbox One. Steam's free play event runs only until April 6.

The Elder Scrolls Online's free play event includes the game's Greymoor Prologue, which is a preview of the game's Greymoor Chapter. The upcoming DLC releases May 18 for PC and Mac and June 2 for Xbox One and PS4.

This free play period also coincides with the game's Anniversary Jubilee event, which offers opportunities for double XP, exclusive rewards, and delicious cake to celebrate the game's sixth birthday. If you've played The Elder Scrolls Online in any previous free events, you'll be able to continue your progression as normal. Additionally, new ESO accounts will receive 500 crowns to spend in the game's premium currency shop.
