UESPWiki:News/ESO August 2022 Free Play Event
Elder Scrolls Online Free to Play from August 16 - 29 — August 16, 2022
Elder Scrolls Online is holding a free to play event until August 29th on all platforms. This comes with the noted exclusion of the Steam version of the game for the PC version, and Xbox players will still need Xbox Live Gold to access online features. During this window players will have access to the base game of Elder Scrolls Online, as well as the Vvardenfell zone which was originally part of the Morrowind Chapter. The event coincides with QuakeCon, a convention which began as a gathering of Quake/id Software fans in 1996. id Software would begin taking over organization of the event in 1999, and after id was acquired by ZeniMax in 2009 the event began incorporating other ZeniMax properties. The free to play event also takes place at the same time as an ongoing sale of the game, set to end the day after the free to play access ends.
