How does The Elder Scrolls Online play on console? Although the MMORPG was initially released for PC, the console versions were developed simultaneously. Therefore, the controller control was planned from the very beginning. Accordingly, ESO plays smoothly and well with a controller. You can quickly access all important functions and navigate through the menus comfortably.
Graphically, it is noticeable that the PS4 and Xbox versions are somewhat cut down compared to the PC version. However, the PS4 Pro version looks significantly better. Graphical improvements like more detailed shadows and prettier water are available on the PS4 Pro in “Enhanced” mode, where you play in 1080p.
On Xbox One, or Xbox One X, a similar effect can be observed. Of course, you can also play ESO on your PS4 or Xbox Series X/S. A next-gen update that makes visual improvements is planned to follow.
Who is ESO suitable for? For story lovers and explorers. The focus is on quests and story, as well as exploring the large game world. Together, you complete much group content, but you can also have plenty of fun playing solo. Fans of the Elder Scrolls series will enjoy ESO.
The game itself aims to turn fans of Skyrim into online role-players and is successful in this approach.
Another advantage is that the game is very beginner-friendly, and you don’t feel like you have to catch up to everyone else. Since the character level always scales to the enemy level, you can experience everything from the very beginning.
What has happened recently in the game? With Greymoor, the new major addon has been released, which represents the core of this year’s campaign “The Dark Heart of Skyrim”. You will face a dark vampire lord who terrifies the land of Skyrim. The story concluded with the DLC Markarth.
With this selection of console RPGs, there should surely be something for everyone who wants to experience thrilling online adventures on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
