You'll pay less if you already own Skyrim Special Edition.

Bethesda just announced how much you'll have to pay for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The company also announced how much it will cost you if you want to upgrade from the Skyrim Special Edition that is out already on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition will run new owners $49.99 (USD) when it releases on November 11, 2021. If you already own Skyrim Special Edition you will be able to purchase the Anniversary Edition upgrade for just $19.99.

Those with PlayStation 5 consoles or the Xbox Series X|S will get a free next-gen upgrade for Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition. All achievement progress is able to be transferred between the Special Edition and Anniversary Edition, except if you upgrade the PS4 version to the PS5 version.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition will include the base game, a bunch of new and old Creation Club content that includes new gameplay functionality, as well as all of the game's expansions.

If you still have some burning questions about Skyrim, Bethesda's Todd Howard will be hosting an AMA over on Reddit on November 10 at 2PM (ET).


Bethesda did release a little video showing off some of the new and updated content that will be coming with the Anniversary Edition. You can find that below.
