Additionally, Bethesda had also said that it would share more details regarding this soon. Now, the gaming studio has started sending emails to Stadia players detailing how Stadia players can save the progress that they have made while playing Elder Scrolls Online series on the cloud-based gaming platform.
“With the impending shutdown of Stadia’s online service on January 18, 2023, we have granted your Elder Scrolls Online account the option to access the game on the PC/Mac platform,” the email says.
How to access Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls Online on your Windows PC or Mac
To access the Elder Scrolls Online on their Windows PCs or Mac computers, gamers need to log in to their account on the company’s official website with their ESO credentials and download the game client. Bethesda says that upon downloading the game this way, the progress that the company made on Stadia, including characters, purchased content, achievements, and inventory, will be preserved on PC or Mac.
However, if users are unable to log in, they can recover their UserID or reset their passwords from the account sign in page. “If you are unable to recover your account, contact our Customer Servie team at help.elderscrollsonline.com,” the company added.
