How do linked accounts work?

Danikat

I only have ESO on PC. When I logged into my account on the website today instead of going to the account summary page it took me to a Linked Accounts page which says:

"To play The Elder Scrolls® Online on your PlayStation® or Xbox®, you need to link your PlayStation™Network or Xbox® account. You can link both a PlayStation™Network and Xbox® account, but no information (characters, progress, etc.) will be shared between them--the accounts are entirely separate. You can unlink your console accounts at any time and re-link them later if you choose."

It then has buttons to link my account to Xbox or PSN as well as Steam, Stadia, Amazon and Twitch.



Am I right in thinking this means if I link my PC-only account to my PSN account I can then play ESO on Playstation without having to buy another copy of the game? I know that - as it says - there's no cross-play and it would be an entirely new account starting from scratch, but it would still be a free copy of ESO, which seems like an odd thing for ZOS to do. I can't test it right now because I don't currently have PS+ and I don't want to pay for it just to try this out, but I'd like to know in case I want to do it in future.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

While you can use your ESO account across multiple platforms, you would still need to buy ESO on each platform in order to play it.
