The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition announced, will get PS5 and Series X upgrade

SKY10_Anni_Edition_in-body_EN.jpg

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is turning ten years old, and what better way to celebrate such an occasion than with a port. Bethesda will be releasing an edition of Skyrim for last generation systems, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and of course PC, titled The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition, which is an enhanced version of the already release Special Edition remaster of the game. It'll contain a multitude of new additions from the Bethesda Creation Club, such as fishing, new quests, new weapons, and other enhancements to the Skyrim experience. Those that already own the Special Edition will be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Edition on for an unknown price point, while the upgrade to PS5 and Series X|S later down the line will be free. Skyrim Anniversary Edition launches on the 10th anniversary of the game--November 11, 2021.

LMAO WUT.

Guess it's cool if mod creators are getting paid by Bethesda for this, but geez. At some point they're gonna run out of modern devices to port this to, and we'll get Skyrim 64.

The Meme that never dies.
I think I'll just post the news image in the meme box.

So I just noticed something...
Those that already own the Special Edition will be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Edition on PS5 and Series X|S later down the line for a currently unknown price point.
*Cough cough* I think I might know the price point. :P

Edited the OP for clarity--the Anniversary update to last gen versions aka where the game is currently released on will cost. The upgrade of THAT to current gen systems will be free.

This better be a free upgrade. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... Well, now you're just being a Todd.
It won’t be, this is Microsoft/Bethesda we are talking about

I assume it's free for PC owners of the Special Edition? Because otherwise all the same mods are gonna be packaged separately within a week of this releasing anyway.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
