IGN:Bethesda discusses The Elder Scrolls Online’s upcoming console release, and why it expects the MMO to appeal to Skyrim fans.
Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk is now live for all platforms (including PC/Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation), kicking off a new era for The Elder Scrolls Online. This inaugural Season is live from April 2 until July 8 and lays the foundation for all future Seasons by introducing new reward systems, the first wave of player-focused improvements, class and combat redesigns, new zones and challenges, and more.
Check out some of the rewards you can unlock and acquire in ESO’s first ever Tamriel Tome, arriving April 2, 2026.
Get an in-depth view of the future of ESO with the 2026 Seasons Direct, followed by two developer and community member roundtables. Join the team at ZeniMax Online Studios as they share the many ways ESO is evolving with new adventures, stories, challenges, and systems, plus get your first look at each Season arriving in 2026. A new age for The Elder Scrolls Online is about to begin!
So a man can play it of course! Although a man may be upgrading his PC for next gen high end settings soon.
Why not release it on consoles?
Both PS4 and One have architecture that makes it relatively easy to port games between all the platforms, and there's less piracy on consoles. Passing up that many potential sales would be stupid unless you're being paid well to keep a game exclusive.
