Zenimax Online Studios has announced huge plans for The Elder Scrolls Online, including an Xbox Game Pass release.

During the 2026 Seasons Direct today, alongside new playable content coming to the game next month with Season Zero: Dawn and Dusk, Zenimax revealed that players will return to Tamriel's frozen north of Skyrim and explore an "iconic region" not previously seen in The Elder Scrolls Online.

This update will also introduce the game's first-ever Excursion Zone, as well as dynamic blizzards that "affect the gameplay of the zone itself."

What's more, The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road, which includes the base game and all major Chapter zones (including Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, Greymoor, Blackwood, High Isle, Necrom, and Gold Road) is available for free right now if you're subscribed to PlayStation Plus.

The offer is included in the PlayStation Plus Monthly Games for March and ends on April 6, and is playable on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, so be sure to grab it while you can.

On top of this, The Elder Scrolls Online is coming to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere on June 2, so you can play it on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC at no additional cost.

Earlier this year, Zenimax announced the game's very first event zone, the Night Market, which arrives on April 29. A limited-time player-versus-environment (PvE) zone described as "new, experimental content".

Two new story content updates are also on the way, and are each focused on the Thieves Guild and Sheogarath.
