SKYRIM may have released a decade ago, but that doesn’t mean Bethesda or the community is done with it.
The studio has just announced a free next-gen upgrade for PS5, Xbox Series X, and of course, Xbox Series S.
Skyrim is now worthy of its own version of the GTA 5 ‘Ah sh*t! Here we go again’ meme with the news of another definitive edition.
Dubbed “the most definitive version of Skyrim to date”, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is coming on Thursday, November 11.
Meanwhile, the existing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition will be getting three pieces of Creation Club content for free.
Creation Club is made up of officially approved mods mad by the community as well as the studio, so all of the content is curated and compatible with the game, as well as the official DLC etc.
On top of that, owners of Skyrim Special Edition on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass subscribers on Xbox Series X|S will get a free next-gen upgrade on November 11.
They’ll also get the opportunity to buy the Skyrim Anniversary Edition upgrade (for the Special Edition version of the game), but Bethesda hasn’t detailed how that’ll work yet.
Anyone who already owns or is planning on buying this version of the game on any platform, including Xbox Game Pass Subscribers, will be getting these three pieces of Creation Club content for free:
This version of the game is packing in a ton of content from the last 10 years, thanks to Creation Club.
Here’s what you can expect:
We’re still waiting on pricing details, but if you already own the Special Edition, you should wait to hear more on the next-gen upgrade path.
If you’ve yet to explore the world of Skyrim, you can either sit tight until November, or pick up the Special Edition now and upgrade in a couple of months.
