About The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition brings the beloved fantasy RPG back with a substantial visual overhaul, having earned more than 200 Game of the Year awards in its original form. This edition packages the critically acclaimed game together with its add-ons and layers in new features such as remastered art and effects, volumetric god rays, dynamic depth of field, and screen-space reflections. It also opens the power of mods to consoles, meaning new quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armor, and weapons can all be added, effectively removing any ceiling on what you can experience.

As ever, Skyrim reimagines the open-world fantasy epic and hands you a complete virtual world to explore however you choose. You can play any type of character you can imagine and act on the legendary freedom of choice and storytelling the series is known for, defining yourself through your actions.

The reworked character system lets you draw from hundreds of weapons, spells, and abilities to play exactly the way you want. And the dragons remain central to the fantasy: you battle ancient dragons unlike any seen before, and as the Dragonborn you learn their secrets and claim their power. For PC players, the Special Edition stands as the enhanced way to revisit one of the genre's landmark role-playing worlds.
