ESO server status and maintenance schedule for today (25 July)
ESO servers are now offline across all platforms as part of the weekly maintenance to sort things out in the background, and you won’t be able to play until the developers finish the maintenance.
According to an official tweet by Bethesda SupportThe Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) massive servers are now offline in North America and Europe due to ongoing maintenance today. Started at 1AM PDT / 4AM ET / 8AM UTC / 10AM CEST, and the downtime is expected to last five hours on all platforms, which means you’ll be able to get into the game at 6AM Pacific Time / 9 AM ET / 1 PM UTC / 3 PM CEST.
Keep in mind that this is only an estimate by the developers and the downtime may be extended if anything unexpected happens. Last week, PlayStation gamers had to wait a few more hours for maintenance to finish as it took developers more than expected to sort things out and deliver the new patch on PS4 and PS5.
Unlike last week, the developer hasn’t revealed anything regarding an upcoming hotfix or update after today’s maintenance.
Previously, Bethesda used to set weekly PC maintenance for Monday with console maintenance on Wednesday, but starting with the new expansion, the developer is keeping servers for all platforms on Monday.
Last month, Bethesda launched the High Isle expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, providing a new area for players to explore as well as new characters, new story-based missions, and even new mini-games.
High Isle is the first part of the Legacy of the Bretons saga, which will have two additional parts in the future. The general community feedback has been very good towards High Isle so far, which puts The Elder Scrolls Online on the right track.
According to Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls Online will continue to receive new content from developers and they have no plans to shut it down anytime soon.
Bethesda is currently fully focused on getting things done for Starfield, while a smaller team is doing pre-production tasks for The Elder Scrolls 6, which will be Bethesda’s next big project.
