    1. Bit of a shame I don’t have the anniversary edition DLC. It’s necessary to have to get this as the normal base game doesn’t qualify for a Switch 2 upgrade. Oh well, only $20 but dekudeals says it’s dropped to $10 back in October so I’ll probably wait for a holiday sale. Surprised it seems like a separate download like Hogwarts Legacy than a normal upgrade

  1. Be aware that this might have HUGE bugs in it, that could kill your pc.
    BE AWARE!!! This is Todd and Bethesda after all.

  2. Skyrim fans on Switch 2 are in for a treat! The Anniversary Edition bringing enhanced resolution, performance improvements, and all three expansions is already a huge win—but the free upgrade for existing Switch owners makes it even better. Bethesda really knows how to reward long-time fans.

    The addition of exclusive Nintendo content, including Breath of the Wild-themed items, is a fun twist that gives players a fresh reason to explore Skyrim all over again. With Joy-Con 2 mouse support and hundreds of Creations Club items, the Switch 2 version is shaping up to be the ultimate Skyrim experience on a Nintendo console.

    Thanks for the note, Sickr.
    Best regards,
