You can play all Elder Scrolls Online DLCs for free right now – but there’s more in the Free Trial.
The Elder Scrolls Online has been diligently updated with countless new content and DLCs since its release in 2014, and now offers a massive world with quests and stories for an estimated half a lifetime. Normally, these have to be purchased separately or are included in the paid subscription ESO Plus.
Right now, however, you can play all this content completely free of charge – because in October 2021, a free promotion is running. We have all the info for you.
From when until when does the ESO Free Trial run?
The free trial week runs from now until October 25, 2021 at 4pm. During this time you will have free access to ESO Plus.

What other content are you getting?
But the DLCs are not all. You can also get the following content for free during the trial week:
- Crafting Pouch: This pouch gives you infinite inventory space for crafting materials.

- Transmutation Crystals: This gives you double the storage space for Transmutation Crystals, which you can use to change the properties of your armour and weapons.
How do you unlock the Free Trial?
To start the Free Trial, you need the main game of Elder Scrolls Online. There you log in, go to the ingame crown shop to “ESO Plus” and select “Free Trial.” You don’t have to pay anything and you don’t have to enter any further payment details; the trial week ends automatically on 25 October.
