The digital bundle is cheaper at $79.99 since the other set – priced at $130 – comes with exclusive physical items such as a Vampire Lord statue, four Collector's Coins, a Greymoor-themed steelbook, Western Skyrim map, and one-month access to ESO Plus. Both editions come with the Greymoor chapter; however, new players might favor the digital version as it comes with instant access to the base game and earlier “Elder Scrolls Online” chapters, namely Morrowind, Summerset, and Elsweyr.

Bethesda is also offering a Digital Collector's Edition Upgrade, which works best for avid fans who already purchased the base game and previous chapters. This comes with the Greymoor chapter, along with the above-mentioned digital items for $49.99.
