Nope! There is no NDA in place for this beta test, so we encourage participants to share screenshots and livestream until your heart’s content.

Will my characters from beta carry over to the live version of Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited on console?

Unfortunately, no. We will be wiping all characters from the console Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited console beta before the official worldwide launch on June 9th. If you are eligible for the PC/Mac to console transfer, your characters will be waiting for you on the console megaservers at launch. Otherwise, you will be creating new characters on launch day.

Is this a cross-console beta test?

No, PlayStation players will have their own megaservers — one for North America and one for Europe. For the beta (and at launch), you will be able to choose which one you want to play on. Characters are unique per megaserver.

How many megaservers are available during the console Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited beta test? Can I choose which one I want to play on?

We will have two megaservers for console, one for North America and one for Europe. You may choose which one you want to play on.

Will we be playing the full game during the Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited console beta test, or only parts of it?

Everyone participating in the Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited console beta test will have access to the full console version of the game, not a slimmed down version.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is out on June 9th for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Stay tuned for more info as we get it!
