Yes, I’m calling it right now: Skyrim 10th Anniversary Edition will come to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2021. In its seemingly never-ending quest to have the largest portfolio of playable platforms, I sense the Dragonborn title and its overlord Bethesda already have their sights set on its next target.
If you’ve managed to avoid playing Skyrim up until today, almost nine years after its initial release, then kudos to you. Skyrim ports have become so expected that it’s become prime meme material. There’s even a CYOA-style port on Amazon’s Echo. Almost every conceivable electronic device you can possibly think of, minus your toaster has Skyrim in one form or another. It’s not just obvious platforms that Skyrim has been ported to.
That announcement came prior to the Special Edition for PS4 and Xbox One, as well as its port to the Nintendo Switch, so it’s safe to assume that figure’s even bigger now four years later. In 2016, it was revealed that Skyrim had sold over 30 million copies making it one of the best-selling games of all time. Bethesda’s baby that just keeps on giving.
