Purchasing the console version. Can I use the same account?

Hi,

I'm planning on purchasing the console version of ESO. Can I use my account (PC version) to play the console version? I'm not looking to transfer anything, as I will be starting a new character? Do I just redeem the code from the console version into my account? Or do I need a second account?

Many thanks

I did the opposite. I started on PS4 - then went to PC. In my case, I needed a new account because the other was tied directly to my PSN. My guess is you will have the same issue going the other way.

Many thanks,

So it sounds like I might require an additional account for the console version.

Edit: Just found the following at https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/xboxaccountfaq

'If you want to play The Elder Scrolls Online on the Xbox One, you will be prompted to create a new ESO account (or link to an existing one) directly from the console'

'If you already have an ESO account, you will be able to log in using your existing ESO UserID and password after your have linked your Xbox Live and ESO accounts by following the on-screen prompts during setup.'

So maybe I can use the same account for both console and PC?

Interested in this as well, was pretty sure the transfer from PC to console thing was limited time, but I'm interested in if it is still possible
