The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One limited public beta for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will begin tomorrow, April 23 and run through Monday, April 27, Bethesda Softworks announced.
“This is a limited public beta — it will be our one beta before launch, and you must receive an invite to participate,” ZeniMax Online Studios community manager Jessica Folsom said in a blog post.
Invites are being sent to select users who signed up for the beta. Participants will be playing the full game, not a slimmed down version of it, and will be able to live stream and share video/screenshots to their heart’s content.
