The Elder Scrolls Online won’t require PS4 owners to have a PS Plus subscription, the game’s director has revealed.
Speaking on the PlayStation Blog, Zenimax Online Studios’ Matt Firor said: “A PlayStation Plus membership is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online. PS4 players will only be required to pay the same monthly subscription associated with The Elder Scrolls Online that PC and Mac users will pay — nothing more.”
Firor also said that he did not have a timeframe for when the PS4 beta of The Elder Scrolls Online will be released, only that it will be “available later this year”. Intriguingly, he also suggested that it would make use of the PS4 controller’s touchscreen capabilities, saying: “We love the additional functionality of the Dualshock 4 touchpad. We’re playing with a couple of different button configurations to find the best and most intuitive use for the touchpad.”
The Elder Scrolls Online is set to release on PC on April 4th, 2014 and June 2014 on the PS4 and Xbox One. To read details of the game’s impressive voice cast, click here.
