The Elder Scrolls Online Closed Beta to Begin April 23rd

When Elders Scrolls Online for the PC released on April 4th, 2014, it was expected that the console versions were to follow.

A year later, and still no release... yet. However, players can prepare for the closed beta of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, due for release tomorrow. Only those that have been invited via e-mail will be able to enter the closed beta (take note that some invites are in spam folders).

The beta will begin on April 23rd at 7 AM PST/ 10 AM EST and will last until April 27th at 7 AM PST/ 10 AM EST. Everything is accessible in the closed beta, but keep in mind that all beta characters will wiped post-beta.

There will be no NDA restrictions, meaning that you can stream the game or spread screenshots to your friends.

This limited beta test is not cross-console - and there are two megaservers - so unfortunately, you can't play with friends using a different console than yours. The total size of The Elder Scrolls Online closed beta is a measley 50 GB, with a 15 GB day one patch to sprinkle on top, so be prepared to spend a bit of time downloading the game.

Hopefully not the timespan of the closed beta.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will be available on June 9th for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
