The lights are on
Bethesda Softworks has announced that Elder Scrolls Online will be available on Steam later today. No exact time is given, but both the Standard and Imperial Editions can be purchased.
The game was released for PC and Mac on April 4. For more info on Elder Scrolls Online, check out Dan Tack's initial impressions and click on the hub from our cover story.
QuakeCon, which starts today, will play host to a panel focused on the future of the title. That will take place at 3 p.m. Pacific / 6 p.m. Eastern tomorrow, and will be streamed on Bethesda's Twitch channel.

Woohoo?
I'll be the SECOND to say thats a great boon for this game.
Well, if they use the steam workshop for addon distribution, that could be cool. Not like it was that hard to get addons before though lol.
Game's still around? Huh...fooled me
Why was this not on Steam from day 1?
Tons of Steam users would have pre-ordered this on the back of Skyrim's success. Now the sales will be limited by all of the negative reviews.
WOO, Destiny beta code! Thanks GameInformer!
I was excited about this game in March when I thought I would be playing it on console starting June 2014. Now I have moved onto Destiny and Dragon Age Inquisition excitement. Still no news regarding if this game is coming to console, and now, even if it did, well, I would not care much.
I played for a month and was extremely disappointed.
I heard they have improved and fixed a lot of the stuff that was ruining the game ... maybe I'll try it again sometime.
Also, they should reduce the fee or turn to a Buy to Play model.
I played through the PC version while it was plagued with loot and bot issues. To resolve the issue, it was at a cost to the player; when bosses started spawning only a few gold pieces and not dropping any items. I not longer felt the reward system was justifying the price monthly. It didn't matter to me any more how far I made it in the game, because even the end was meh... Gold was one of the easiest things to get in the game; what's the point of playing if the only way to get better gear was to make it through blacksmith. It meant exploring there was nothing worth finding. Sure awesome areas, nice array of combat and enemies but people want treasure man! They want a core reason to stick with adventuring. Give us reasons to say in Tamriel this lands is ours, and we value it!
Sadly even when I had issues logging into the game, and I asked for support it took them 2 weeks to assist me; and then 2 more weeks for them to clarify I was cancelling. It was the support (or lack their of) that finally had me committed to quit. My spouse saw what happened to my experience, soon quit after. I doubt I'll ever go back.
Elder scrolls! Hey hi! Look I just wanted to make sure you were aware that I'm absolutely willing to give you a shot and play your game on Xbox before I ultimately make a decision about you, but you better hurry, because come August 19th, I'll have other games I'm more interested in to play and I won't have time for you. Anyway, good luck, I think you're gonna need it.
I'll try it when it goes free to play. If it doesn't go free to play, I won't really be missing much.
Too bad it still looks really sub-par and still has that $15 a month sub tag with it. Still not interested Zenimax sorry :|
no australian servers still, so i can't play it
It's also 50% off.
