There's no shortage of excellent MMORPGs available, but Elder Scrolls Online's take on the iconic world of Tamriel is second-to-none. Set 1,000 years before Skyrim, and roughly 800 years before Morrowind and Oblivion, the continent is yours to explore alone or with friends, and you can catch up with the rest of the expansions and 2025's slate of content at its lowest price right now - but you don't have long.
Taking some of the most iconic and best RPGs ever made into an MMO formula sounds like a simple task, but Elder Scrolls Online's early days were fairly tumultuous. With a range of server issues, quality-of-life problems, and some balancing tweaks needed, it took years for ESO to be considered among the best MMORPGs, but fortunately, it truly is now.
Starting like any good Elder Scrolls game, you create your own customizable character, choose a class, and set off on an adventure unlike any other. You're starting the game in the midst of Tamrielian conflict, which is a familiar trope for fans of the series, but as you battle anything from humans to animals, monsters to dragons.
While you can enjoy Elder Scrolls Online as a solitary adventure, seeing other players run past as you head towards your next quest, it's mainly a multiplayer game - meaning that it's even better with friends or strangers around to help you. There are Trials, which are similar to raids in most MMOs, or Group Dungeons to enjoy, and with the Elder Scrolls Online 2025 Premium Edition, you'll get the game's eight previous chapters, adding plenty of content to enjoy at your own pace.
Not only do you get all existing content, but you get the current Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 storyline, as well as the upcoming Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 DLC, and some bonus dungeon packs for 2025. That's over $370 / £291 of content for a fraction of the price, and it's even cheaper when you can grab the Elder Scrolls Online 2025 Premium Edition for just $55.99 / £47.59 at Fanatical. That's one of the best PC games for a truly incredible price, worthy of a budding adventurer like yourself.
Sinking plenty of time into Elder Scrolls Online will give you something to enjoy for hours on end, and will make the time fly before those exciting upcoming PC games finally arrive.
