ESO Server Maintenance & Downtime

ESO Downtime – Server Maintenance

The next ESO server maintenance and downtime will take place on July 6th, starting at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 8 AM UTC / 9 AM BST / 10 AM CEST. The process is scheduled to last for six hours, ending at 7 AM Pacific Time / 10 AM Eastern Time / 2 PM UTC / 3 PM BST / 4 PM CEST. This info comes straight from the Bethesda Support Twitter account. So, if you try and play the game in this window, you won’t be able to log in. Don’t worry, it’s not an error on your part or anything like that; the developers are simply working on maintaining the servers, and that’s all there is to it. You’ll just have to stay patient and do something else for six hours.

So, now that we know when the ESO server downtime and server maintenance is going to take place, what exactly can you expect from this update? Well, the developers didn’t say, so it’s probably not going to be much. Maybe a hotfix for a few things, but maintaining servers seems to be the main name of the game. It appears that these downtime periods are now happening on a weekly basis, so we’ll be sure to keep you posted whenever the service goes down, both on consoles and PC, so stay tuned. They didn’t use to shut the servers off this often before, but, well, it is what it is. Better that than connection problems down the line.
