The Elder Scrolls Online Gets Two New Xbox Versions As Part Of 2025 Overhaul

Last night, Bethesda hosted a special ESO Direct in which The Elder Scrolls Online’s 2025 plans were laid out, and there’s definitely a lot of change coming to the game throughout the year – with two new Xbox versions now available.

The big content release in 2025 is a major new zone and storyline called “Seasons of the Worm Cult”, which takes the form of a two-part adventure debuting on June 18th. The second part will then arrive later in the year.

You can see a trailer for Seasons of the Worm Cult up above, and here’s the official description:

Divided by the mysterious Writhing Wall, the isle of Solstice is beset by the dread Worm Cult, and you and your fellow players must venture into the mysterious island of Solstice, gather your allies, and put a stop to the cult’s dread schemes. For the first time in the game’s history, the Seasons of the Worm Cult saga continues a story that began in the ESO base game (although you don’t need to have completed the game’s original story to enjoy this one).

Beyond that, there’s also a big in-game event called “Writhing Wall” for the latter part of 2025, a free update arriving in June that adds new Subclassing and Hero’s Return systems, and a couple of new Dungeon Packs including one that’s available now.

There’s more detail about all of this on the official ESO website, and here’s a look at the roadmap:

Now, in terms of those two new Xbox versions, there’s a 2025 Content Pass that includes the new stuff but not the game or old expansions, while the 2025 Premium Edition adds all eight previous Chapters along with the base game.

The 2025 Content Pass is priced at $49.99, while the 2025 Premium Edition is $74.99. Bizarrely the prices here in the UK are not correct – the Content Pass is mistakenly being listed at £84.99 right now on the Xbox Store.
