The Elder Scrolls Online Update 11 now Available for Consoles

While PC gamers experienced these enhancements starting August 1st, console adventurers on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 can now dive into Update 11 for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. This significant content drop introduces the Shadows of the Hist DLC alongside substantial quality-of-life improvements specifically tailored for console gameplay experiences.

The deployment of update 11 brings transformative features to players on consoles, enabling costume coloration capabilities, access to The Style Parlor premium customization vendor, and integrated text-based communication systems. These foundational enhancements complement the new dungeon content package, creating a comprehensive update available simultaneously across all supported platforms.

Most core functionality improvements arrive through the complimentary base game patch, while the premium downloadable content requires Crown Store acquisition. Shadows of the Hist introduces two meticulously crafted Argonian-inspired dungeons: The Cradle of Shadows and Ruins of Mazzatun. These challenging environments demand strategic coordination and offer substantial rewards for groups willing to brave their depths at a cost of 1,500 Crowns.

Consistent with established ESO subscription benefits, active ESO Plus members automatically receive DLC access throughout their membership duration according to official documentation. Conquering both Argonian dungeons unlocks exclusive achievement accolades and rare mask collectibles. Each accomplishment also provides corresponding cosmetic enhancements for character appearance customization.

“Following the established dungeon design philosophy, these instances dynamically adjust to match your group leader’s combat proficiency, feature both Standard and Veteran difficulty settings, and introduce fresh equipment sets for acquisition. Adventurers may enter these new dungeon environments at any character level, with Activity Finder queue availability commencing at level 10.”

Beyond the dungeon-focused DLC, console explorers will discover multiple system enhancements integrated through Update 11’s foundation patch. Following yesterday’s maintenance window, innovative features including The Style Parlor boutique, costume dyeing functionality, and text communication systems became operational on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. As confirmed on Bethesda’s official portal, every player gains these capabilities as part of the universal game update.

The Style Parlor represents a specialized division within the Crown Store marketplace where players acquire permanent appearance modification options for their characters. Fresh hairstyles, decorative accessories, and body markings obtained from the Crown Store permanently register in the player’s Collections interface, available for selection anytime. A comprehensive bundle containing all character creation hairstyles costs 1,000 Crowns – purchasing this collection enables every character across your account to utilize any available creation hairstyle indefinitely.

“The complimentary foundation patch accompanying Shadows of the Hist, accessible to all ESO owners, delivers substantial feature additions and system refinements including console text chat implementation; upgrades and adjustments to Aetherian Archive, Hel Ra Citadel, and Dragonstar Arena trial instances; the Cyrodiil settlement capture mechanics; and Racial Passive ability modifications and balance improvements.”

Update 11 introduces another dimension of personalization through the costume coloration system. Players may now apply previously unlocked dye shades to their costume outfits. Subscribers enjoying ESO Plus membership benefits can freely dye their costumes using any dye colors unlocked on their account. Non-subscribers have alternative access through consumable, pre-determined dyes available in the Crown Store marketplace.

These Dye Stamp items permit costume coloration without subscription requirements; however, the available colors remain fixed and each stamp depletes after single application.

As previously detailed by gaming news outlets, this update also integrates text-based communication into The Elder Scrolls Online console experience. Players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can now communicate across their platform using optional text messaging alongside existing voice chat functionality. Console users with connected keyboards can immediately begin communicating by pressing the “enter” key. Standard communication options and channel types facilitate player interaction including regional chat and private messaging systems.

The foundation update delivers comprehensive system enhancements beyond the premium DLC content. Trial instance refinements affect Aetherian Archive, Hel Ra Citadel, and Dragonstar Arena, providing better balance and reward structures. The Cyrodiil town capture mechanics introduce new strategic objectives in PvP zones, while racial passive adjustments ensure better class balance and build diversity across all player specializations.
