Now it’s back up to $40 and I doubt it will be similarly discounted again anytime soon. I bought Skyrim Special Edition on PSN back in January for $16 because it was on sale. It’s also one way to continue charging a premium for a 10-year old game.

I supposed because if you plaster the words “ Skyrim” and “Edition” onto something somebody somewhere will buy it. Skyrim is also getting a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version in the future that will be free for all existing owners of either the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition to upgrade to. The new fishing mechanic will be a free update to everyone, as will specific pieces of Creation Club content including a new set of quests called Saints & Seducers, new Rare Curios items, and Survival Mode where players can freeze to death. You’ll still get a ton of stuff, assuming you already own the Special Edition. What happens if I don’t buy or upgrade to Skyrim Anniversary Edition? Skyrim Anniversary Edition isn’t coming to Switch at all, and unlike when the Special Edition was released, there aren’t any limited-time free upgrades. If you have any other version of Skyrim, you’re out of luck. It’s not really an optional paid upgrade so much as a big discount on all of the current Creation Club stuff. Bethesda also revealed yesterday that current owners of Skyrim Special Edition could pay $20 to get everything additional that comes in the Anniversary version. The content there costs money, some of which goes to any outside developers who helped make it, but it doesn’t replace Skyrim’s existing free mod community.Ĭan I upgrade to the latest Skyrim if I own one of the older versions? The company got into hot water when it announced plans for regular paid mods several years ago, then backtracked, and later came out with Creation Club.

What is Creation Club?Ĭreation Club is paid mods curated by Bethesda.

It might also break any current mods you’re using. It’ll be out on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 11. Skyrim Anniversary Edition includes Skyrim, all three DLCs-Dragonborn, Hearthfire, and Dawnguard-all previously released Creation Club mod content, some new Creation Club mod content, and a brand new fishing mechanic. What does Skyrim Anniversary Edition include? But what you’re actually getting in the latest version of the decade-old game is a bit confusing, so let’s break it down. Yesterday, just a week before it launches, Bethesda finally revealed how much Skyrim Anniversary Edition will cost: $50.
