Elder Scrolls Online Is Free-To-Play For A Whole Week

Although it might not be the most well-received MMORPG in the business, Elder Scrolls Online still has a lot of content that gamers might like to try out. One of the barriers that prevent them from doing so is the price tag of the game. Thanks to the week-long free event for the game, players won’t have to worry about that particular obstacle for the moment.

ESO is available for free on all gaming platforms and the game itself is on sale right now, which slashes a significant amount from the base price depending on which version is bought. On Steam, for example, “The Elder Scrolls® Online: Gold Edition” is available for 50 percent off while “The Elder Scrolls® Online: Tamriel Unlimited” is available for 67 percent off.

Both versions are available to be played for free starting April 12th and will last until the 18th. On top of the base game itself, players or rather testers will receive 500 of the game’s currency called Crowns. These Crowns can be used to buy things like costumes, pets, and scrolls.

In terms of the content that the testers will have access to, the entirety of the base game offers more than enough opportunity to see what it’s like to play ESO, VG247 reports. Much of the game’s features, lands, monsters, and weapons are at the testers’ disposal, though, it should be expected that a week is not likely enough to unlock everything that the base game has to offer.

Once the free event ends, testers who choose to become fully fledged players by buying any of the packages and editions they want will have access to the content, experience, and items that they accumulated during their free sessions. Considering that the Morrowind expansion is slated to launch on June 6th, this would be an excellent opportunity for Bethesda to show gamers why ESO deserves their money.
