ESO Players are excited about returning 2-Player Mounts

With Update 33, ESO intends to finally release a long awaited feature: Multi-Rider Mounts.

We went to the ESO PTS and tested them for you, and for now they work great! Here is an explanation on how they work!

A Multi-Rider Mount lets you and a groupmate ride on the same mount. Once acquired, set it as your active mount through the Collections Menu. Summoning and dismounting from the Multi-Rider Mount works the same as other mounts: press the default key for mounting up.

To ride as a passenger, you must be in the same group as the mount’s driver. Once in a group, aim your targeting reticule at a groupmate who is on their own Multi-Rider Mount and who has an empty passenger seat, then hold down the default key to interact. This brings up a radial menu of interact options. Move your mouse to the Ride Mount option and release the interact key to commit to your selection. A passenger can dismount at any time, but if the driver chooses to dismount, the passenger also dismounts.

There’s currently two mounts on the PTS, the test realm; the Duo-Dynamo Dwarven Spider and the Grand Pillion Draft Horse. Here is what it says about the latter:

So, as you can see, two players can ride with this mount. The last sentence may be a bit misleading, because as you can see a companion can ride with you on the mount. It just means that they can’t use the mount on their own, which in turn means you can’t set their mount to be the Multi-Rider Mount.
