First released in 2014, The Elder Scrolls Online is the massively multiplayer online edition of the long-running RPG series. In the game, players can experience the world of Tamriel, and engage on a series of main quests.

Right now, that’s the year-long story of Gates of Oblivion. And the latest installment of that is called Blackwood. A standalone adventure, Blackwood also continues the main GoO story-arc.

If you’ve been playing, and have made the jump to the current generation, then you’re in for a treat. Bethesda has announced that the upgraded edition is ready to roll right now.

Officially dubbed The Elder Scrolls Online: Console Enhanced Edition, the revision includes:

• Next-Gen Performance: With the next-generation power of Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, the game will run at a crisp 60fps while in Performance Mode. If you’re looking for a visual feast, Fidelity Mode allows Xbox Series X and PS5 players to enjoy native 4K @ 30fps, while Xbox Series S runs 1440p @ 30fps.
• Increased Draw Distance: For players who love to admire ESO’s vast beauty, the game’s draw distance has nearly been doubled, allowing greater views of the ever-growing world of Tamriel.
• Improved Loading Times: Moving up to next-generation power means loading times on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 have been nearly cut in half on average, enabling console players to remain immersed in ESO’s stunning world with less waiting.
• Enhanced Textures & Antialiasing: Throughout the world of Tamriel, shadows are now sharper, creating a more precise visual, and great improvements to antialiasing have smoothed out objects like foliage and structures.
