The Elder Scrolls Online's PS5 upgrade has been pushed back a week

By Heidi Nicholas,

There's an extra week to go until The Elder Scrolls Online: Console Enhanced arrives for PS5 on June 15th, after having been pushed back to avoid clashing with the launch of Blackwood and Update 30.

"In an abundance of caution, we are moving the ESO: Console Enhanced launch out a week," Bethesda says. "We are doing this so we are not launching Update 30 (Blackwood) at the same time as Console Enhanced and can give both our undivided attention." Blackwood and Update 30 will still arrive for PS4 on June 8th, a week before the new release date for the Console Enhanced version of ESO. "We apologize for the inconvenience, but we want to ensure that everything launches smoothly during this very busy time," Bethesda concludes.

Console Enhanced will be free for existing owners of ESO, and brings "next-gen fidelity and performance [with] improved textures, reflections, shadows, draw distance, and more." It's thankfully not too long a delay, and with Blackwood launching as planned the week before, you should have more than enough to tide you over until it arrives.

Hey, I'm Heidi! I've just finished studying a Masters in English Literature, but I've been obsessed with gaming since long before then. I began on the PS2 with Spyro, before graduating to the Xbox 360 and disappearing into Skyrim. I'm now a loyal RPG fan, but I still like to explore other genres — when I'm not playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, or being lured back into Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3!
