I don't know... this would be great, but I think it would be quite a lot of work to get the Chapter and the next gen version done for June. In Q3 they only have a dungeon DLC so that's my guess, but we'll most likely get the date next Tuesday during the stream.

What do you mean? Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will have the same servers as Xbox One and PlayStation 4. There‘s no difference of the next gen version besides the technical improvements for the new consoles.

June 8, with update 30

I dont see a problem with that either; ps Server, Xbox Server as it is now, Fine for me.

Can any1 say anything to the 60fps question?

@Torbschka 60fps is confirmed if you play in performance mode. Nothing special with the graphics uplift though, sadly. They haven't used the opportunity to improve the engine at all to add a proper LOD system or anything. They're just moving the sliders up so it looks like the current PC version on high/ultra settings.

So 60fps IS coming if you select "performance mode" on the console enhanced edition. My question is, if that's only for next gen, 30 Vs 60 FPS in cyrodiil unfair advantage or no?

There's no way original Xbox will be able to handle 60 frames per second. So it looks like they may be some slight advantage in cyrodiil for next-gen owners. The PC already has players on a wide variety of systems, and that hasn't been an issue for ZOS.

I freaking can't wait for 60 frames per second. My guess is that there will be some graphical improvements in performance mode, just not the level of fidelity mode. But 60 frames per second will be too awesome to pass up.

Same, ill definitately choose 60fps mode. Would be cool if it would have graphical imrpovements, but if not i still go for 60fps. Im just downloading again.

Advantage, i dont know, this is not a shooter and its same on pc: 30fpsvs45fpsvs60fpsvs80fpsvs100fps Etc.

This is everything I wanted. Give me the max PC settings and I am amazed. Plus the super fast loading times on Series X I will be more than happy.

Only thing missing is the increase to max camera sensitivity

After having seen the video... I don’t know if I am totally sold yet. I expected more from the graphical improvements to be honest, but maybe I have to see it on my 65‘‘ TV and will be convinced then. In the preview it did look way better, but less impressive than I imagined.

Still very happy that we’re getting the enhanced version in June already.

Remember, the game is 7 years old, and an mmo. Best case scenario graphics aren't necessarily going to blow your socks off.

I agree on the age of the game and I know that it’s quite old. I‘m just surprised how much mods and addons can improve ESOs visuals on PC (compared to what the options offered by the game itself can’t).

I do not agree on the second part though. MMORPGs aren’t limited to weaker graphics anymore as Final Fantasy XIV and Black Desert demonstrate. And Final Fantasy XIV‘s base game is even older than ESO.

The game was stripped down a lot so it met requirements for the original consoles it was released on. Addons literally add a lot of that back into the game. The devs still have to be careful with what they put into the game for improvements as the older gens are really struggling with game now. I image all platforms will benefit greatly as soon as the dev team decides to stop supporting older gen consoles. That will allow them to upgrade the games graphics to utilize modern hardware. I don't expect that to happen for at least another couple of years yet as most players will have had to swap over or Sony/MS will have to officially stop supporting the older consoles. Going by the PS3 to PS4 migration it will be about 6 years after the release of PS5 that PS4 online services are discontinued.
