Tamriel Unlimited Edition and Crown Store Details

As mentioned above, you're getting the TESO game without a monthly subscription. That said, Zenimax is not entirely done with monthly subscription fees and microtransactions. You'll be able to purchase "Crown Packs" to help boost your character, or go ahead and buy an "ESO Plus" membership. ESO Plus gets you 1,500 a month and all the paid for DLC upgrades ESO will be getting later on as the game progresses, along with a few other bonuses you can view here.

Other than the subscription fee, there are two other updates in the 2.0 "Tamriel Unlimited" Edition. First off, there's a new Crown Store, where you can upgrade equipment and get different skins for a price. There is no way to obtain crowns in-game, so you'll have to purchase them from Zenimax or get them from an ESO Plus membership. Another addition is the Criminal Justice system, where you'll finally be able to steal from and kill NPCs … and suffer the consequences if you get caught.

Starting June 9th, the PS4 and Xbox One versions will launch. They'll release as the most recent "Tamriel Unlimited" Edition, so just like PC, there will be no monthly fee.
