The developers of MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online have updated the game with Endless Archives and update 40, now available on PC & Mac. The update also comes to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 & PS5 on Update 14. This base-game patch introduces an all-new PvE activity and a host of new features and quality-of-life improvements.
The Endless Archive is a free base-game addition to The Elder Scrolls Online and is part of the Update 40 patch. There is no additional purchase necessary, although ESO Plus members will enjoy a bonus to Archival Fortune gains during their expeditions.
In addition to the new PvE activity, Update 40 also includes a host of new features and quality-of-life improvements that all of Tamriel’s adventurers can enjoy.
In the Endless Archive, you can discover an unending challenge as you battle your way through the shifting libraries and twisting pathways of one of Hermaeus Mora’s most mysterious strongholds. Unending Challenge is the new PvE activity, you can team up with a trusted ally or go it solo as you contend with randomly generated stages filled with waves of monsters and perilous boss encounters.
As you continue your expedition into the Endless Archive, you can discover and unlock a host of specials rewards, including unique collectibles, item sets, and more—all granted by the Prince of Knowledge himself! These rewards include class set items, the first of their kind, which provide powerful boons to select Class Skill Lines.
By completing expeditions, you also earn a new currency called Archival Fortunes. With it, you can purchase all manner of items from the vendors within the Endless Archive’s central hub. This includes one-time use buffs, individual item set items, fragments of collectibles, and even permanent account unlocks that provide boons for future runs.

- Group Finder makes it easier than ever to find likeminded players to join you for practically any in-game activity;
- Grand Master Crafting Stations – these special items allow you to consolidate your home’s attuned crafting stations into one;
- Jewelry Crafting Rebalance – this patch also establishes a broad rebalancing of Jewelry Crafting to help align its costs with the game’s other crafting disciplines;
- Quest XP & Gold Standardization – Update 40 also standardizes the Experience Point and Gold rewards for many of the game’s quests, including those associated with zones, main storylines, prologues, dailies, guild storylines, and more.
