Playing on PlayStation 4
We're thrilled to announce our very first Free Play Weekend for the Elder Scrolls Online on PlayStation 4. This is a great opportunity to jump into the giant world of ESO and try it for yourself. You'll be able to begin downloading the game on the PlayStation Network this Wednesday (November 16) starting at 12:01AM local time in Europe and 12:01AM EST in North America. Simply navigate to the the Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on the PlayStation Store, download the game, and create your ESO account. (PlayStation Plus is not required to participate in the ESO Free Play Weekend.) If you're downloading ESO for the first time, please be aware that Tamriel is a fully breathing online Elder Scrolls world and requires 73GB of HDD space, so plan ahead!
Once ESO is installed and you've created your account, you can log in and begin your adventure in Tamriel. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you're playing ESO on a Free Play Weekend account:
•You'll have access to the full The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited base game, not including DLC game pack areas
•Upon account creation, you'll get 500 crowns to spend in the Crown Store on fun costumes, unique pets, helpful scrolls, and more
•After the Free Play Weekend ends, you can continue right where you left off! Any characters you create, Crown Packs, or Crown Store items you purchase, as well as any progress you make during the Free Play Weekend will carry over when you purchase the game
