The open-world game Skyrim released in 2011 is still one of the most famous role-playing games in the history of video games, and it is developed by Bethesda Studios, which is now officially owned by Microsoft, and on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the game, Bethesda just announced the release of Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition will be released on the last generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and there will be a free upgrade on the new generation PS5 and Xbox Series devices, in addition to the version containing many bonuses inside it, and all other additions.
This version will see the light on November 11 of this year 2021, on both PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, and this version will follow both the legendary version that was released in 2013 and the special version that was also released in 2016.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition will also include the remastered version of the main game, as well as the three official expansions called Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn, as well as 500 cats from the Creation Club, as well as missions, dungeons, bosses, weapons, and spells made by both Bethesda and the community creators who worked on the "Mods".
All this news was during QuakeCon where Bethesda officials Jessica Finster, Finster, and Ashley Cheng confirmed:
"If you have a special edition of Skyrim you can upgrade to the Anniversary Edition to get the extra content.
You don't need to own the Anniversary Edition to experience Skyrim on new generation consoles.
Hunting will be added to the game for free soon, after 10 years of waiting"
Of course, we all remember how the PS3 version that was first released in 2011 suffered from very poor graphics, in addition to extremely long loading times, and frame rate issues that get worse the more your savings increase.

In any case, the PC version is considered the best and most famous among the versions, despite the passage of nearly ten years since its release, as the version is characterized by downloading “mods” modifications that renew and inject blood and vitality into the game again.
