QuakeCon 2025: Play Elder Scrolls Online Free for a Limited Time
/
ZeniMax Online’s MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is free to play for a limited time, from August 5 to August 12, across all platforms, including last-gen consoles.
Play Elder Scrolls Online Free During QuakeCon 2025
Just head to The Elder Scrolls Online on your preferred platform during the free trial period and you’ll find it free to download. From there, you can dive into the base game and play as much as you want until the offer ends on August 12.
A nice bonus: if you’ve joined previous free events for ESO, your progress carries over—letting you continue right where you left off.
To sweeten the deal, The Elder Scrolls Online base game and its new 2025 Premium Edition(which Includes previous expansions) are also on sale. On Steam, the base game is 75% off, dropping the price to just ₱230 for players in the Philippines. With no subscription required and an open-world experience comparable to major RPGs, it’s a steal.
Meanwhile, the Premium Edition is 20% off. That’s understandable, since it's a new bundle introduced this year that packages past expansions into a single offer—ideal for newcomers looking to catch up.
The Elder Scrolls Online first launched in 2014 for PC, with a console debut the following year. Since then, ZeniMax Online has steadily supported the game with major updates and expansions that let players explore both new and iconic Elder Scrolls locations like Skyrim. It’s crazy how big it has grown, and they continue to do so with their Season of the Worm Cult DLC that launched a few months ago, and is now on its 46th major update. The latest addition was subclassing, one of the game’s most requested features from its community.
My time with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 made me realize how overdue we are for a brand-new entry. This is a franchise that doesn’t need to reinvent itself to stay relevant. Sometimes, being fun is enough, and this remake delivers just that.
