The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is a new release of The Elder Scrolls Online, replacing the previous version entirely. This is also the only version available on consoles. The biggest difference is the removal of the mandatory monthly subscription fee. The game now only requires a single purchase of the game, optionally with DLC expansion packs, crowns as a premium currency, and an ESO Plus Membership as a monthly subscription to receive access to all DLC packs as long as the subscription is active, 1,500 crowns per month and a 10% experience boost. Additional items can be bought in exchange for crowns in the crown store. These include different types of items as well as customization options through pets, mounts and costumes. For existing players crown points were provided for the remaining subscription days of the old version of the game during the transition.

Many novelties for this version of the game were previously made available through Update 6 a few days prior to the release. It introduces a justice system where acts are remember and bounties are provided, new veteran dungeons, Craglorn as a new veteran adventure zone, Dragonstar Arena as a new 4-player survival event, Trials as 12-player veteran challenges, guild trades, various fixes and improvement to game elements, and a new champion system where players with a veteran status start earning champion points that can be invested into new passive abilities.
