The Elder Scrolls Online, Bethesda's long-running MMORPG, is enjoying a pretty hefty discount on Steam. Retailing at a 75% discount, The Elder Scrolls Online promises memorable adventures and hundreds of hours of playtime for just $5.

The Elder Scrolls Online, an award-winning MMORPG from Bethesda, is now on sale for just $4.99 on Steam. This is a massive 75% price cut over the usual retail price, presenting a great opportunity to dive into the world of The Elder Scrolls Online (linked at the end).

Set in the fantasy continent of Tamriel, the same continent that hosts the mainline The Elder Scrolls games, The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is an online RPG that continues to expand with new areas to explore, new storylines to enjoy, and new adventures to experience through regular content updates. 

The game was initially released in 2014 and has since had five main expansions and 36 smaller DLCs. These yearly main expansions and smaller DLCs introduce players to new locations, challenges, quests, and more.

Gameplay-wise, The Elder Scrolls Online follows the same general formula as single-player experiences like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Players start by making a custom character and choosing which faction to join. From there, players begin by following the main storyline, which not only takes them on an adventure but also introduces them to the world of ESO. Like every other The Elder Scrolls, players are free to roam around, join guilds, collect loot, clear quests, raid dungeons, and level up however they wish.

Being an MMORPG, ESO allows players to join their friends on quests as well as engage in chaotic PVP battles, the biggest of which is "Alliance War in Cyrodiil".

The Elder Scrolls Online system requirements

The Elder Scrolls Online is a pretty easy game to run on modern hardware. The recommended system requirements listed on Steam include:

  • An Intel Core i5-2300 or AMD FX4350 CPU or newer
  • 8 GB of RAM
  • GeForce GTX 970 or RX 570 with 4 GB of VRAM or better
  • 150 GB of storage 

So, gamers with even a budget build with entry-level components like a Core i3-12100F and an RX 6600 can play ESO with the maximum graphical fidelity at super high frame rates.

Long story short, The Elder Scrolls Online is jam-packed with content and is fun to play with a “Very Positive” rating on Steam. For just $4.99, now is a perfect time to give ESO a go.
