Elder Scrolls Online switches to subscription-free model

MCV Staff 19th March 2015 PC

Elder Scrolls Online’s mandatory subscription fee has at last been dropped, Bethesda has announced.

Bethesda’s MMO can now be picked up with just a single purchase and no ongoing monthly fee required. To counter the subscription’s removal, the developer will add an in-game shop offering a variety of purchasing options.

One of the options is a 30, 90, or 180-day ESO Plus membership, which provides regular deposits of in-game currency, assorted boosters and access to DLC while membership is active. Experience boosts and other unspecified services and content” will also be made available individually via the in-game store.

The Elder Scrolls Online is available now on PC, and is set to launch on PS4 and Xbox One this June.
