How to Play ESO on PC with a Microsoft Account

Learn how to access The Elder Scrolls Online on PC using your Microsoft account.

Linking Your Microsoft Account to ESO

To play The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) on PC using your Microsoft account, you need to ensure that your Microsoft account is linked to your ESO account. If you initially created your ESO account using a Microsoft account, you should be able to log in directly with that account.

If you haven't linked your Microsoft account yet, you can do so by visiting the official ESO website and following the instructions for linking accounts. This typically involves logging into your ESO account and selecting the option to link your Microsoft account.

Downloading ESO on PC

Once your Microsoft account is linked, you can download ESO from the official website or through the Xbox app on your PC. If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, you may also be able to access ESO through that service.

After downloading, install the game and launch it. When prompted, log in using your Microsoft account credentials.

Troubleshooting Login Issues

If you encounter any issues logging in with your Microsoft account, ensure that you are entering the correct email and password. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it through the Microsoft account recovery process.

Additionally, check if your account has been properly linked to ESO. You can verify this by logging into your ESO account on the official website. If issues persist, consider reaching out to ESO support for assistance.
