Definitely not before the console is released (obviously). Just be patient and wait for ZOS to announce the XBox beta starting.
Yeah consoles not even out yet, and they also said that PS4 gets first crack at console Beta. So yeah Xbox One users have a while to wait before they see any kind of Beta.
But I thought they would include an Xbox 1 with the beta software? No? My bad.
Well it is going to happen when the console is officially released after November 2013. So I would wait until after November and watch for official announcement from Microsoft then ZOS.
Xboxone has some serious issues with being only online playable and no used games. I own 3 xbox 360s but I'm going PS4 because of their utter greed and controlling posture. And i've applied for beta!
Didn't they say that PS4 people get access to beta earlier or something along those lines?
Yup.
Console Beta is going to start as a PS4 exclusive, probably to make up for all the nonsense with Skyrim DLCs.
