However, last-gen players who own Skyrim Special Edition will instead be able to upgrade to Anniversary Edition at a reduced price. To celebrate the 10th anniversary, free Creation Club mod content is being offered to all Skyrim Special Edition owners, as well as a free new-gen upgrade for customers who first buy the Anniversary Edition on PS4 and Xbox One. Skyrim Anniversary Edition is being billed by Bethesda as the game's definitive version. More will be added and tweaked in the latest re-release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, last-gen consoles, and PC, such as Skyrim: Hearthfire's new aquariums and many quality-of-life changes.
The Elder Scrolls game has released on just about every console (and even refrigerators) to come out since the game’s initial release in 2011, and recent editions have come with various improvements, such as the inclusion of every DLC expansion and the integration of mods on consoles via the Creation Club. A new approach to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition's Creation Club quests aims to fix the worst problem encountered in new Skyrim Special Edition playthroughs.
