The Elder Scrolls Online gets updated on PC and Mac, bringing most accessibility options and more

As with all major releases for The Elder Scrolls Online, Bethesda and Zenimax Online Studios have released a big patch for the game, including a focus on accessibility. Right now these updates are just for the PC and Mac versions of the game, console players will get there closer to the release of the expansion there.

While the full patch notes, which can be found here, offer a full breakdown, Bethesda have called out the biggest changes and leading the charge is accessibility, here is the official description of it.

We’ve added a new pre-game screen, which appears prior to the login screen, that offers the option to select Accessibility Mode. When choosing this mode you will automatically be swapped to use the Gamepad UI, but the keybinds will be adjusted for whatever input is being used (keyboard or gamepad). If you decide you don’t want to use this, you can disable in the Options menu.

You are now also able to move around all pre-game UI screens and elements using only digital inputs (such as keyboard or D-pad keypresses) or analog inputs (such a mouse or gamepad control stick).

The aspect that I think is very nice is that now on the games login screen, you can now select the music you want to hear, at least the title music from each of the major chapter releases, again the official words below.

You now have the ability to choose which title music theme plays on the game’s login screen. In the Audio Settings tab, there is a new drop down labeled "Intro Music". Select which Chapter you'd like to listen to and just give it a few moments to swap over (the default will always play the most recent chapter's song). Listen to them all and pick your favorite!

There is also now support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, but you won’t actually need to have an AMD card to take advantage of it, and again the official words.

This upscaling technology is available for all graphics cards and can be used to improve performance for those who are bottlenecked by their GPU while playing ESO. This can be used to get straightforward improvements in framerate, or to allow you to enable more demanding graphics settings like our Screen Space GI while maintaining similar framerates to what you had before.

It is great to see the team bringing in new technological improvements to the game, even years after it first released.
