First off, players should know that the houses included in the update are divided into tiers.
The first tier is for the apartments, which is ideal for those travelers just getting started but who still want to have a little slice of Tamriel to call their own.
Once players make a bit more progress, they can go ahead and try to acquire a small home to keep their belongings in.
A medium home is the next step up the ladder, and this is great for those players who already have something to work with but are still aiming for bigger and better things.
For those who really want to become serious homeowners, they can put down money to invest in a large home.
Lastly, the wealthiest and most influential residents of Tamriel can opt to get the opulent Manors to serve as their personal sanctuaries.
Developers also detailed the different ways that "The Elder Scrolls Online" players can acquire homes inside the game.
Some of these homes are available via the game's Crown Store, while others that can be purchased with in-game gold must first be discovered by the players themselves. Players can also locate Canthion the Housing Broker, complete the quest he provides and then claim a small apartment as a reward.
The full version of the "Homestead" update will be released for all platforms of "The Elder Scrolls Online" sometime in February.
