The Elder Scrolls Online Will Have Separate Servers for PC and Console Players

Polygon is reporting that The Elder Scrolls Online will have separate servers for PC and console players (the next-gen console version have been just recently announced), apparently to ensure that PvP is fair given the difference in control schemes.

Sage, who works as creative director on the studio’s MMO offering, stated that despite recently announcing the title would hit both next-gen platforms as well as Windows PC and Mac, the game will feature three separate server environments to ensure fairness in PvP across all systems as those on PC and Mac will use a mouse and keyboard while console users will have only a controller.

Describing the overall focus on next-gen games development particularly apparent during this year’s E3, Sage said the development of titles for Windows PC remains “amazing,” adding that PC games development will be unaffected by the surge of interest in PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

“PC is still untouchable, it’s the PC,” said Sage. “We’re working to perfect UI and gameplay specific to the PC version of Elder Scrolls Online and the console version will have its own UI and be more controller-specific, but PC is going nowhere. ”
