Elder Scrolls Online has consistently delivered new chapters to its ever-growing world, and with it comes tons of new content for players to enjoy and play. The next chapter of the game, Necrom, will release on June 20, for PC, Mac, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PS4, and preorders are now available for players who want to reserve their copy early. There are a couple of options to choose from, so we put together this guide that covers each version and what they include to help you decide which version will be right for you.

Those who preorder any of these editions will get some extra items when the expansion launches, namely the Sadrith Mora Formal Attire costume, Apocryphal Bookwyrm pet, x1 Unfeathered crate, x3 Treasure maps, and x2 Experience scrolls (+100% for 1 hour). You’ll also instantly get the Sadrith Mora Spore Steed and Spore Pony pair if you preorder before April 18.
