Just like in 2015 when we were allowed to transfer from PC to Consoles.

Allow us this time to Transfer from the old console to the new console.

I don't see any benefits for having two consoles mixed to one. It should be seperate servers.

    Have they said ESO will be on these consoles ?

    Surely you should be able to download the game on them and just play as normal since you will be using the same servers and only difference is updated hardware

    Yes they said they will add upgraded versions of the game on to the new consoles.

    But it would be so nice to be able to make a fresh start on the new console, since that makes things more exciting.

    There will still be one server for Playstation consoles. The client will be upgraded to PS5 but the game will be backward compatible for PS4.

    So no need for transfers.

    ^ This

    Both PS4 and 5 will connect to the same server, the client is getting a lick of paint, server stays the same.

    The engine still won’t be able to do all of the required math - regardless of console gen... so I am not sure where the worry is...

    So do you want a fresh start, or a transfer? You're not making much sense. Either way, it's the same platform, why would they make a different server?

    Next gen consoles use the same data base as previous (current) gen. There is no need to transfer, your XSX/ PS5 character will be available day one. They haven’t announced a launch date for next-gen feature client enhancements though.

    I know why OP wants that, like most old PS4 EU players would. But I'm not allowed to say.

    I expect Google to upgrade their hardware every time I buy a new phone!
