Skyrim Anniversary Edition Adding Content, PS5 & Xbox Series X|S Upgrades Coming

I tru­ly did­n’t think it could hap­pen, but Bethes­da Game Stu­dios is re-releas­ing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim game, and it even has new con­tent. It’s the 10th Anniver­sary Edi­tion, and it will be avail­able on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

This anniver­sary edi­tion also includes a brand-new mechanic–fishing. That’s right, fish­ing will be added as a free mini-game when Skyrim’s 10th Anniver­sary Edi­tion releas­es on Novem­ber 11th. 

The 10th Anniver­sary Edi­tion of the game does come with oth­er fea­tures, but Bethes­da did not clar­i­fy what these are. Bethes­da did note that Skyrim’s Anniver­sary Edi­tion will include new con­tent from the Cre­ation Club.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Spe­cial Edi­tion own­ers on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S will gain access to a free next-gen enhanced ver­sion on the same day. Every­one else who owns the Spe­cial Edi­tion of Skyrim can pur­chase the Anniver­sary Edi­tion upgrade–but there is no price tag for that as of yet.

Skyrim is one of the most port­ed games on the mar­ket, and has man­aged to make the leap to eight dif­fer­ent plat­forms. This includes gen­er­a­tional leaps from the PlaySta­tion and Xbox 360 era to the cur­rent-gen con­soles. That’s something.
