Character transfer from Xbox to PC

Mastuhshake · April 2017

Hello,

I am wondering, if it is at all possible to transfer my characters, and ESO plus over from Xbox to PC. I have the game for both platforms, and I've wanted to make the switch for a while now but I do not want to lose all of the progress I have made considering I only have the time to play casually. Looking forward to your response.

I have asked this question before trying to change from PS4 to PC however there is no way to do it at the moment..I also do not want to loose my progress as I am exactly like you and don't have time to level other characters. I

Switch back to PC from console and lose a thousand hours of progress and hundreds spent on DLC and micro transactions or continue to play on console which I dislike for several reasons.

Guess illl just continue to not play and spend my money elsewhere. Shame because I really want to play.

Paid transfers between platforms or better yet cross platform play is an eventuality. There are so many ways to monetize such services or features. Zenimax needs to step up and provide these services.

Ive seen many customers suggest that not offering these services is a choice to appease Sony and Microsoft who wanr to retain subscribers. But if it's about money then why not just charge more to go from console to PC than from PC to console and have the difference go to Sony and Microsoft for their potential annual subscriber loss?

There are just so many addons and time saving features on PC that improve the overall experience. And honestly console gaming is dying out because PC parts are just becoming more and more affordable. I mean at the least they could make some interface changes on console to make it simpler easier to use.

Someone posted this in one of the other recent threads but it sounds like it's a little more complicated than that: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25807/. Not impossible to do, but very difficult.

I wouldn't doubt that those guys are correct about Sony and Microsoft agreeing to anything. Look at all the chaos just trying to get Mods on consoles.

Just start over on the PC, where you should have started.

Problem solved.

It is impossible to do at this time .....

What you referring to in your post was a one-time transfer they offered. The console was to be released at the same time with PC but it did not due to delays. So when it was released in June 2015 on consoles, there a brief window when active PC players could transfer their characters to a console. This transfer had a limited window and is no longer available .....

Yeah, I feel it

@Balibe
You are correct. I certainly wasn't disagreeing on that front. I've been around long enough to know this as well.
It was something like a courtesy situation for the delay. And even then they were only able to copy so much.
Since they bulk copied all user requests at once we don't even know if they could do individual situations.

Quit playing ESO over a year ago. I would absolutely be willing to play again if I could transfer my characters from Xbox to PC but until thats possible they wont be seeing any of my money.

Holding the game hostage until you get what you want always works with the devs.

As this is an older thread which has been brought back from the grave, we will be closing it to rest once more. Character transfers between platforms are not possible, as we have not built, and do not plan to build, the capability to move individual characters from platform to platform.
