The Elder Scrolls Online suffers huge launch problems

The Elder Scrolls Online players are reporting game breaking bugs on PS4 & Xbox One launch day

The Elder Scrolls franchise has been taking players on single player adventures for decades now, offering everything gamers could want except the ability to play with friends. That’s what made the announcement of The Elder Scrolls Online such a huge announcement. Opening up the world of Tamriel to a massive number of players who could all come together to play. What made the announcement doubly exciting was that the game would be coming to both PC and console.

The only drawback was that Bethesda and Zenimax Online were unable to release the PC and console version at the same time. The PC version landed last year to mixed results from fans and reviewers. The console version of The Elder Scrolls Online was held back to “solve a series of unique problems specific to those platforms” that apparently took a year to resolve. Today was the official launch of TESO on the PS4 & Xbox One, but players are not having the great time they were expecting.

Gamers who tried jumping into The Elder Scrolls Online today found that an extra year of development did nothing to help the console version avoid major problems. Just like The Master: Chief Collection and Assassin’s Creed Unity, the game has launched with major game breaking bugs being reported by players on both consoles. According to reports from gamers from North America and Europe they are unable to sign into game The Elder Scrolls Online.

The Elder Scrolls Online Console Version launches broken

Even players who were somehow able to sign into the game were met with other major glitches including: disappearing NPC’s, the friend system going down, and worst of all being forced out of the game for spamming chat despite never sending a message. Zenimax Online was quick to respond to all of these problems on the TESO forums saying the problems are due to an overwhelming amount of traffic. Advising players to keep trying to log into until they are put into queue.

That response is being met with a huge amount of fan frustration, with players pointing to the closed console beta Zenimax Online held before launch. Saying that by using a closed beta they were never able to truly put The Elder Scrolls Online console version through a stress test. It isn’t helping that gamers are dealing with these problems after downloading a day one 15gb patch that should have stopped all this from happening.

At the moment there’s no word from Zenimax Online about when The Elder Scrolls Online will be fixed and in the meantime players will have to fight through the bugs.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
