Can i upgrade my account by redeeming a "full game"

Bomber293 · February 2020

Hey guys,

getting back into playing eso atm and I don't own any DLCs. Now i wonderd if I can buy a pack that includes the base game + DLCs and redeem it on my existing account to unlock the DLC's?

I'm asking becasue it's cheaper in the pack wich includes the base game than buying all the DLCs I want in crown store. (Morrowind, Summerset, Elyswere)

I think so, but I'm not 100% certain.

Yes. I started with ESO Imperial Edition, and later bought the Gold Edition, which includes the base game and 4 DLCs. No issues at all.

Same goes for me. I could get the pack from "MediaMarkt" for around 45€ but i darkly remember something that each base game comes with a fixed account linked to it. Maybe that got changed in the past 5 years but somehow it's in my head. If so I don't think that i can upgrade an account/game with another one

Really? So I can just go under my account and redeem the whole bundle and get all the included DLCs? Ohh man thats a dream

I did for my (not Steam) Imperial edition game when there was a bundle on sale with base+morrowind+summerset+thieves+db. No problems. (No idea how Steam or physical editions vould behave.)

There is one pack in the crown store that has the first 4 DLCs released. I have not seen any other pack of DLCs.

The Greymoor Standard edition (not upgrade) comes with the previous 3 chapters as well but I am not sure if this can be added to an existing game.

So basically it can be pretty expensive to buy all DLCs at this point. If you were to go this route I would suggest buying crowns only when they are on sale then buying the DLCs when they go on sale during their anniversary event. Note, I have not seen dungeon DLCs go on sale, or at least it is rare.

So short of that just do ESO+ and you will have access to everything except the most recent chapter.

My suspicion is that Steam accounts will not play nice with external codes. There used to be a process where you could use the external code to migrate your Steam account off of that platform, but I'm not sure how that works now.

A couple months ago, I won a pack that has all digital CE versions of ESO from a twitch stream and redeemed the code successfully from the ESO website account page. Previously, I only had digital upgrades but now I have the mounts, motifs and so on...
