The Elder Scrolls Online was first released by Bethesda and Zenimax Online Studios in 2014 for Windows and macOS. Console players joined the fun in June 2015 when the game launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Later, the MMORPG made its way to PS5 and Xbox Series X in June 2021, so there are plenty of ways to play.
