The Elder Scrolls Online: Console Enhanced will arrive on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on June 8. As revealed during the Blackwood Chapter Preview Event, the studio announced those who own or purchase the MMORPG on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will receive free access to ESO: Console Enhanced. You can expect enhanced performance and visuals on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Below is a brief look at upgrades you can expect in June:
Next-Gen Performance: Previously, ESO ran at 30FPS on console, but with the next-generation power of Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, the game will run at a crisp 60FPS while in “Performance Mode.” If you’re looking for a visual feast, enjoy native 4K at 30FPS in ESO’s “Fidelity Mode.” Increased Draw Distance: For players who love to admire ESO’s vast beauty, the game’s draw distance has nearly been doubled, allowing a deeper view of the ever-growing world of Tamriel. Improved Loading Times: Moving up to next-generation power means loading times on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 have been nearly cut in half on average, enabling console players to remain immersed in ESO’s stunning world with less waiting. And much more: ESO: Console Enhanced brings about a number of other changes like improved reflections, shadows, depth of field, ambient occlusion with screen space global illumination, along with updated antialiasing and unlocked textures.
