It is, however, cross-generational, meaning that PlayStation 4 players will be on the same server as PlayStation 5 players, and Xbox One players will be able to join Xbox Series X|S users in their battle for Tamriel.

Does ESO have crossplay on PC?

While you can’t play with other consoles, PC players and those using Stadia will be placed on the same server. So, if you’re a PC user and your comrades use Stadia, you’ll be able to team up just fine.

Will ESO add cross-platform in the future?

Considering crossplay is still a relatively new concept in the MMO world, it’s unlikely that we’ll see it added to ESO anytime soon. Given the sheer size of servers, coupled with the manpower required to keep them running, it looks like we’ll be confined to one platform for the foreseeable future.

So that’s everything we know about crossplay in The Elder Scrolls Online, and whether or not we’ll be able to play cross-platform in the future.
