As promised, today is launch day for Elder Scrolls Online’s update 44 – at least if you’re on PC or Mac – and this update is absolutely packed with features for the game to send off 2024. We’ve already been chronicling the major changes to the game’s PvP battlegrounds, which have been revamped to “make the game mode […] more competitive and fun for every type of player.”
“Changes include a shift from the original 4v4v4 to the new 4v4 and 8v8-sized matches, the addition of seven brand-new maps of various sizes, new rewards and mechanics, and a unique leaderboard for the 4v4 competitive-styled option,” ZeniMaxOnline Studios says.
For open-world PvE players, there are two new companions (free for sub players or purchased through the cash shop for F2P players), updates to the scribing system introduced earlier this year with Gold Road, and the new Golden Pursuits reward track, plus the usual assortment of gear, titles, deco, and cheevos.
Console players will get their version on November 13th, but everyone else can dive in right now. Happy patch day, Tamriel!
