Is the Free Play Event Only for Consoles?

-

My friend saw there’s a free play event for the game until the 20th and wants to join in, but he’s a PC player and can only find console options available. I’ve looked around and everything seems to only mention Xbox and PlayStation. Are we just missing the PC option, or is it indeed console-only for this event? Thanks for any insights!

Seems like it’s just a console deal for the free play. Just checked the Steam sale too; it’s pretty much the only place where it’s discounted. Sad there wasn’t more clear info about it for PC.

Thanks for confirming! Guess we’ll have to look for alternatives.

Yeah, it’s definitely a bummer that the free play is console-exclusive this time. The base game is cheap on Steam right now, not available on Epic or the ZOS store. I even contacted support about why the sale info was inconsistent, but never heard back. Could be something related to their new monetization plans.

From what I can tell, it looks like the free play event is only available for consoles right now. But hey, if he’s interested, the base game is just around $2 on Steam. That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about missing out on playing after the event ends anyway since that’s what would be available during free play too.
