The Elder Scrolls Online Won’t Require a PS+ Account
In a Q&A on the European Playstation Blog, Matt Firor, game director at Zenimax Online Studios, has confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will not require a PS+ subscription to play, unlike most multiplayer PS4 titles.
Players will only need to stump up the £8.99 a month subscription for the game that’s the same across all platforms, alongside buying it in the first place.
However it will require a Gold account on Xbox One, essentially placing two paywalls on the game.
Firor also confirmed that a beta for the game would be heading to PS4, though he gave no further details.
He also announced that there will be no cross-play between the console and PC versions.
The Elder Scrolls Online launches April 4 on PC/Mac and in June for Xbox One and PS4

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
