About The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

About this game

Developed and published by Bethesda.

Originally released in 2011, Bethesda Game Studios' opus won over 200 Game of the Year Awards and has since been ported to nearly every platform. 

The last of your kind

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you are the last Dragonborn – a mythical hero destined to slay the ancient dragons and save the world from destruction. 

It's your own journey

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim allows you to live another life in another world. Create any character you can imagine by selecting from iconic races, such as Khajiit, Argonian, and Nord, among many others! 

Aside from being able to look however you want, you'll also be able to customise combat to your style. Whether you pick up a shield and a sword or join the fight as a mage,  Skyrim gives you plenty of choices and builds to choose from. Will you step away from being a stealth archer this time? Only time will tell.

Vast lands to explore

Skyrim is an expansive open-world game with endless possibilities. Visit cities like Windhelm and Falkreath, or venture off the beaten path to discover hidden caves and ruins. From the frigid tundra of the North to the sun-scorched lands of the South, explore all of Tamriel as you seek out new adventures!

Adventures await

Solve puzzles, retrieve forgotten treasures, or simply take in the stunning scenery. No two playthroughs will be the same!

Encounter new faces, join factions, and make important choices that shape your story. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an immersive and captivating game that will transport you to another realm. So what are you waiting for? Your adventure awaits!

Special Edition

With this special edition version of the game, you'll get new quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armour, weapons, and much more! After all, with mods, the sky is the limit. 

Steam Deck

The adventuring doesn’t stop within the game. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is playable on the Steam Deck, meaning you can take your console anywhere and explore being a Dragonborn there.

Critic Reviews

8 / 10
"If you’ve never experienced Skyrim, the Special Edition is certainly an adventure you can’t afford to miss."

Attack of the Fanboy

"It’s showing its age and still suffers from the trademark Bethesda bugs, but The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a good enough excuse to warrant a return trip or...

"A wonderful recreation of Skyrim, which remains - despite rough edges and badly-aged elements - one of the greatest RPGs ever made."

If it wasn't for the modding community, I would have stopped playing a long time ago. Still, the game is a timeless classic and looks truly amazing even by today's standards.

Still One of the Best RPGs

This game is one of the best role playing games of all time. It has aged pretty well considering how old it is. The graphics and performance are great on Steam Deck and the mods are a plus. I will continue to have this game as part of my library, it's still one of my favorite games

Amazing game. Played it for the first time (somehow) recently and it still holds up. Love the open world nature of it that doesn't seem empty . Getting some mods can be a bit tricky if you have no clue how to do it but there are a lot of mods for this game that only add to the experience.

I had originally played TES Skyrim on the xbox years ago soon after it had come out, and i enjoyed it overall for what it was. But, then i switched over to PC not too long ago and i have to say that being able to add so much EPIC community content to the game, modernise it in various ways and make it much more immersive and interesting, and look way better too through modding, Skyrim is like a brand new game for me and has easily become one of my absolute favourites! I highly recommend it, especially if you take the time to learn to mod...which is easier than one might think! In my case, Skyrim has become one of the best Werewolf simulators/role play games available at this time!

Really great game, as soon as I purchased it fanatical immediately gave me the key. Fanatical also has a link that I used that takes you to the steam redeem page and it fills in the key for you. Game runs great fanaticals bundles and deals are great. Overall 10/10
