Those with Xbox Live Gold can play The Elder Scrolls Online for free this weekend

Xbox One owners who have a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription can access the fantasy massively multiplayer game The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited for free this weekend. The free time period begins at 9 am PT on Thursday, Dec. 10 and end at 11:59 p.m. PT Sunday, Dec. 13.

Microsoft says:

"Gold members on Xbox One can explore all of Tamriel, from the icy reaches of Skyrim to the depths of the Black Marsh. You and your friends can team up together to discover dungeons and ruins, embark on hours of quests from series staples such as the Fighters and Mage's guild, battle dangerous world bosses, or simply admire the many beautiful vistas throughout Tamriel."

In addition, playing the game during the free period will allow players to become eligible for the recently launched "#MillionReasonsToPlay" giveaway. Anyone who plays The Elder Scrolls Online from now until Jan. 10, 2016 will be automatically entered into the contest, with the grand prize winner receiving $1 million (in real money, not in the game's currency).
