You can try The Elder Scrolls Online and save on the game and Crown Packs during our Free Play Event and April Sale!
Play For Free
The Elder Scrolls Online Free Play Event begins Wednesday, April 1 at 10AM EDT, and will run through Monday, April 13. Note: Steam’s Free Play Event will run from April 1 through April 6. During this period, anybody on PC/Mac, Xbox One (Xbox Live Gold required), and PlayStation®4 can download and play The Elder Scrolls Online base game free and experience a whole world of adventure.
To participate in the Free Play Event, visit our Free Play page and select your platform. This event gives you access to the ESO base game, which includes four of the game’s original classes, 23 massive unique zones, and an epic main storyline.
Because the Free Play Event includes access to the base game, you can descend into your Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure with the Greymoor Prologue. In addition to this, you can also take part in the Anniversary Jubilee in-game event, allowing you to earn double XP, gain bonus rewards, and eat cake to celebrate ESO’s sixth birthday!
If you’ve already played ESO during a previous event, you can continue your adventures as normal. In addition to this, all new ESO accounts created will also receive 500 crowns to spend in the in-game Crown Store.
Explore Tamriel alone or with friends
That’s a ton of great reasons to try out ESO during this new Free Play period, so head on over to our Free Play page now!
