Elder Scrolls Online Free Weekend

You may have seen the announcement earlier this week that there's a competition to win a million US Dollars by playing The Elder Scrolls Online. Now the lure of large amounts of money is all well and good, but you might be wondering if you'd actually enjoy playing the game enough to stick it out and have a shot at the prize. Well that's not a worry any more as you can play it absolutely free for PC, Mac and Xbox One this weekend.

The deal goes live on Thursday at 3AM EST (10pm UK time) and from that point until the same time on 14th December (that'll be 13th December on the humble British shores) it's totally free to download and play the game so you can see if it's worth investing in your own copy. That's not all though, if you play during the free weekend then you're in with a shot of the prize, whether you go on to buy the game or not.

As an added bonus, during the free play weekend there will be up to 40% off packs of crowns, the games premium currency. You can receive a free play code for computer from a friend who already plays the game or from "various websites" (or from ourselves right here!).

Xbox One owners can download it right away, as soon as the clock chimes 10pm tomorrow.
