In anticipation of the forthcoming QuakeCon festival, Bethesda has crafted a friendly surprise for fans of the beloved role-playing saga The Elder Scrolls. The timing could not be better for players in North America who are looking to dive back into Tamriel and explore what the game world has to offer during a special event window that feels like a celebration rather than just a promotion.
From now through August 29, the PC version of The Elder Scrolls Online is available to everyone at no cost as part of the Free Play event. This limited window grants access to the base game in addition to the expansive Morrowind expansion, letting adventurers roam the rich landscapes, complete quests, and experience the ongoing evolution of the MMO without spending a dime. Notably, this opportunity is exclusive to the official online portal, as it does not apply to Steam. Players who want to participate must download the official TES Online launcher directly from the game’s official site rather than through a third-party distribution platform.
When the complimentary period ends, players who wish to continue their journey can purchase The Elder Scrolls Online and pick up right where they left off, preserving progress, inventory, and character development. This setup makes the Free Play event particularly appealing for newcomers seeking a low-risk way to sample the game, as well as for seasoned veterans who want to test changes before committing to a full purchase.
