How many players does it have on Steam? In the last 30 days, an average of 8,669 players played ESO on Steam. At peak times, there were 15,009 players online simultaneously. The trend shows a decline after the rather good start of the current Season 0.

The all-time high is 49,061 concurrent active Steam players. In total, 26 million players are said to have played the MMORPG so far, with regular free-play events taking place.

What kind of game is this? The Elder Scrolls Online places great emphasis on allowing you to have fun in the world of Tamriel, whether alone or at any level. That’s why a dynamic system was introduced that theoretically allows you to tackle endgame dungeons even at level 1.

ESO particularly impresses with its unique story and the setting of its game world. There are many iconic locations known from the “Elder Scrolls” games, as well as the well-known compass in place of a minimap.

Over the years, ESO has been given several DLCs every year as well as a major chapter. Those who subscribe to the optional ESO Plus subscription gain access to all DLCs and most expansions.

The Elder Scrolls Online offers you:

• regular updates, at least one every quarter
• a truly vast game world
• fully voiced quests and engaging stories.
• Diverse dungeons
• Housing
• Server-vs-Server PvP
• PvP Battlegrounds

Unfortunately, the future of ESO is uncertain after the downsizing at developer Zenimax due to Microsoft. Many of the passionate lead developers who shaped the MMORPG for over a decade are gone. Plans for the future must be reassessed with the remaining team.

Who is this interesting for? If you are a fan of The Elder Scrolls and enjoy exploring MMORPGs alone, you should definitely take a look at ESO. The game impresses with a good story, nice graphics, plenty of content, and an action-packed combat system where you may also need to block enemy attacks.
