Maintenance for the login and account system for Xbox One and Playstation 4 is scheduled اليوم on June 29 for the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. The servers will not go down, but logging in will not be possible.
This afternoon until evening it will not be possible to log in to The Elder Scrolls Online on Xbox One or Playstation 4. A preliminary time frame was already set last week from 16:30 to 21:30 our time. During this period, the login servers and account systems will undergo maintenance.
Players who are already logged in on Playstation 4 and Xbox One at that time can continue playing. PC players are not affected by this maintenance.
The maintenance was actually scheduled for last Friday but was postponed to today. Zenimax likely made this decision because there were four-hour maintenance periods for Xbox One and Playstation 4 mid-last week. They did not want to obstruct Friday as well. Additionally, Playstation players were upset: Instead of a 500 MB patch that Xbox players received, they had to download 15 gigabytes.
Why always during prime time?
The maintenance works are taking place – annoyingly from a German perspective – at a “convenient playing hour” during prime time. Exactly at the time when most people would have time to play. This is because the European and North American mega servers for consoles need to be maintained simultaneously. This is not the case for the mega server for PC and Mac, which can be maintained separately.
The European mega server for PC and Mac will receive a new patch tomorrow morning, June 30, at 4:00 AM.
