Elder Scrolls Online for PS4 is Free of PS+ Shackles

Sony's gone and banged out a Q&A for the Elder Scrolls Online on the PS4. Among the answers that came up among the server issues and how the touchpad on the DualShock 4 will work was this gem.

"A PlayStation Plus membership is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online. PS4 players will only be required to pay the same monthly subscription associated with The Elder Scrolls Online that PC and Mac users will pay — nothing more." Now, about that controller...

"We love the additional functionality of the Dualshock 4 touchpad. We’re playing with a couple of different button configurations to find the best and most intuitive use for the touchpad," is the response to that one.

And what of the Beta?

"We do not yet have a date or timeframe to share, but we can assure you that there will be an ESO beta exclusively for PlayStation 4 fans later this year. Keep an eye on elderscrollsonline.com, as well as here on the PlayStation Blog, for further details!
From all of us here on The Elder Scrolls Online team, a big thank you to the PlayStation community for being so supportive. If you haven’t signed up for the PS4 ESO beta yet, don’t forget to do so here: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en/beta"
