ESO planning to release a new space efficient launcher with User Interface updates including new keyboard and gamepad navigation support, and more.
The new beta launcher is currently available for testing using the PTS (Public Test Server). Note: If you install the new launcher for testing, you will have to revert it back (downgrade it) to be able to play on the Live servers again.
