I don't have ESO on Steam. Can I buy the Steam Blackwood Upgrade and link it to my Greymoor ESO acnt

Kharnamantic · January 2021

I bought ESO originally before it was on Steam (I run it via the ESO/Bethesda.net launcher). It's up to date with the Greymoor expac now.

I want to move all my games to Steam, since it's a convenient central location. Can I buy just the Steam Blackwood Upgrade Edition (the new expac that I'm missing) and link it to my ESO/Bethesda.net launcher account? Or do I have to buy the base game first?

https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36517/~/can-i-link-my-existing-the-elder-scrolls-online-account-to-my-steam-account? tells you how to link Steam and ESO accounts, but I suspect you need the base game.

If you own the base game in Steam, you can purchase the Blackwood Upgrade through Steam and you will be able to link your Steam account to ESO here. You will also still be able to launch the game via either Steam, the ESO launcher, or by directly opening the executable.

Here's hoping for a Steam sale on the base game then, as Steam sells content in my local currency vs the ESO store which is WAY MORE expensive due to currency conversions.
