Elder Scrolls Online has today released its latest update, patch 7.0.8, and here’s everything that’s been changed and added with this update! This patch is fairly small, looking to make some adjustments to issues that have come up recently. With the latest DLC releasing last month, this is to be expected. Still, having fixes to some long-running bugs and issues is nothing to be upset about, and should prove nice going forward. Without further adieu, here’s everything that’s been added with Elder Scrolls Online update 7.0.8!

As aforementioned, the updates in Elder Scrolls Online update 7.0.8 are exclusively fixes to various bugs. These primarily lie in Blackwood (with a little in Greymoor) which makes sense all things considered. Having your companions fight more reliably is always a good thing, especially in new zones. That, and bugs in that area being tackled are always good. A fairly solid if unexciting update.

Elder Scrolls Online update 7.0.8 is exclusively available on PC and Mac, while the game itself is also available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S,a nd Google Stadia. If you’d like more information regarding this update, check out the official patch notes.
