More info

The Elder Scrolls Online is a living, online fantasy RPG that puts you in a customizable character in the Elder Scrolls universe—explore vast zones, tackle group dungeons and trials, pursue solo questlines, craft, trade, and fight other players. ESO is developed by ZeniMax Online Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks; it supports both solo storytelling and large-scale multiplayer experiences across PC and consoles (Steam store overview).

ESO is actively updated with major yearly content—2025’s Content Pass continues the main narrative as the Worm Cult returns on the island of Solstice and introduces the Writhing Wall event, two dungeon packs, and multi-part story updates across the year (2025 Content Pass details). The game also sells smaller bundles and convenience packs: for example, the Housing Starter Pack includes the Seabloom Villa (unfurnished) plus 800 Crowns, and the Hailcinder Mount Pack contains the exclusive Hailcinder Vale elk, 3000 Crowns, and a Pledge of Mara scroll. Useful examples: - Housing Starter Pack: Seabloom Villa + 800 Crowns (support page). - Hailcinder Mount Pack: Vale Elk + 3000 Crowns + Pledge of Mara (store listing).
