The Elder Scrolls Online, the long awaited massive mulitplayer edition of the Elder Scrolls series which launched last fall on PCs, has made made its way to consoles and is now available on the Xbox One as The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is the Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) edition of the award winning fantasy role playing series The Elder Scrolls, most recently known for the incredibly popular The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The official game description reads:
The award-winning fantasy role-playing series, The Elder Scrolls, goes online – no game subscription required. Experience this multiplayer role-playing game on your own or together with your friends, guild mates, and thousands of alliance members. Explore dangerous caves and dungeons in Skyrim, or craft quality goods to sell in the city of Daggerfall. Embark upon adventurous quests across Tamriel and engage in massive player versus player battles, or spend your days at the nearest fishing hole or reading one of many books of lore. The choices are yours in the persistent world of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.
