The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Arrives On June 5, PTS Testing Begins On April 16
The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is set to go live on June 5, but those eager to experience the upcoming major game update will be able to test it all on the game’s Public Test Server this month. ESO: Summerset will go live on the the PTS on April 16 and will include the entirety of the new Chapter and Update 18. Access to the PTS will be limited to PC/Mac players.
