Regarding The Elder Scrolls Online, lead developer Matt Firor provided initial information about the distribution of players across the platforms PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. The outcome is surprisingly revealing and suggests that there are possibly many more gamers on consoles than on PC.
The Elder Scrolls Online is growing and thriving, and with the latest Update One Tamriel, the game has become even more popular thanks to greater freedom for the Skyrim fanbase. Therefore, TESO lead Matt Firor has also reached out on the website Polygon to provide insights into the player numbers of the online role-playing game. While there were still no concrete numbers, at least relative figures came to light.
Two thirds console?
According to Matt Firor, the players of The Elder Scrolls Online are distributed relatively evenly across the three platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Thus, about one third on each device, which suggests that around 60 percent are playing on consoles and “only” one third of TESO fans are having adventures in Tamriel on PC.
The Elder Scrolls Online initially launched exclusively on PC in 2014, and back then, no one really believed in the success of the console version. According to Matt Firor, all concerns were swept away when the game finally launched on consoles in 2015, with around 200,000 players online at the same time and many more waiting to access the game.
