Mark The long-awaited console edition of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls Online finally launches today, June 9, but the MMORPG’s release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 isn’t going as smoothly as it could be.
In North America and Europe, players are reporting log-in issues on NeoGAF and TESO forums. For anyone who wanted to jump right it at midnight when the game launched, this is a big bummer.
Thankfully, Bethesda is on the case, saying in a post on Twitter that it’s currently readying a fix.

MMOs are still somewhat new territory for consoles, so some level of growing pains are probably to be expected. We’ll continue to monitor this story as it develops.
Have you experienced any log-in issues? Let us know in the comments below.
The Elder Scrolls Online was originally released in April 2014 for PC–read our review here. The console edition was delayed multiple times before its release today across both platforms.
The Elder Scrolls Online is now called Tamriel Unlimited, and no longer requires a monthly subscription. However, it’s not a free-to-play game entirely, as you still need to pay a one-time fee to get started.
