The Elder Scrolls Online has launched a free play event that runs until April 26th where you can download and play at no cost. Moreover, the crown store sale and Blackwood Chapter are significantly reduced. This is a great time to jump in the game and stock up on crowns. Below are the details.
Discover almost everything Tamriel has to offer and begin your year-long adventure during The Elder Scrolls Online Free Play Event and Sale.
PLAY FOR FREE
The Elder Scrolls Online Free Play Event is now live and runs until Tuesday, April 26 at 10AM EDT. During the free-play period, anybody on PC/Mac, Xbox consoles (Xbox Live Gold required), PlayStation consoles, and Stadia can download and play The Elder Scrolls Online for free!
If you’d like to join over 20 million players and explore Tamriel for free, visit the Free Play page and select your platform. This event will give you access to the ESO base game (including four classes, 23 story zones, Battlegrounds and Alliance War PvP, and more) and the Morrowind DLC (Vvardenfell zone).
Even better, because the Free Play Event grants you access to the base game, you can play the High Isle Prologue questline and begin your Legacy of the Bretons year-long adventure—setting the scene for this year’s big Chapter release, The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle*. If you’d like to continue your story beyond the Free Play Event, pick up The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: High Isle from our Buy Now page to get immediate access to the game and previous Chapters.
If you’ve already played ESO during a previous event, you can continue your adventures as normal. Even better, all new ESO accounts created also receive 500 crowns to spend in the in-game Crown Store.
BASE GAME & BLACKWOOD SALE
During the Free Play Event, we’ve also put The Elder Scrolls Online Standard Edition on sale at up to 70% off and The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood on sale at up to 67% off.
This sale is now live and, depending on your platform, will end on different dates:
- Elder Scrolls Online Store—April 27
- Steam—April 27
- Stadia—April 27
- Xbox—April 27
- PlayStation—April 28
Note that sale end times might differ by platform, so be sure to check your preferred retailer to confirm. Visit our Buy Now page now to ensure you make the most of these offers and don’t miss out.
