"You can add the Switch 2 to the (long) list of platforms where you can play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The bad news: It costs $60 to play the 2011 game optimized for Nintendo's 2025 hardware. The good news: It costs less (or nothing) if you own one of the versions for the original Switch. The (digital-only) Switch 2 port is the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim, released in 2021."
"Okay, cool, but I'm gonna go on a limb and say money was also a factor. That's because, if you don't already own Skyrim for the OG Switch, you'll have to fork over a whopping $60 in the Nintendo Store for the 14-year-old game. Meanwhile, if you own the standard version of Skyrim for the original Switch, you'll pay $20 to upgrade. Finally, if you have the Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the OG Switch, you can install the new version for free."
The Switch 2 receives a digital-only port of Skyrim as the Anniversary Edition, bundling the base game and three expansions. The Anniversary Edition includes hundreds of Creation Club items such as quests, weapons, armor, spells and dungeons, plus Zelda crossover items like the Master Sword, Hylian Shield and Champion's Tunic. The port brings technical upgrades on Switch 2 including enhanced resolution, DLSS anti-aliasing, faster load times and general performance optimizations. Input and accessory additions include mouse support, motion controls and Amiibo support. Pricing is digital-only: $60 without prior Switch ownership, $20 to upgrade from the standard Switch version, and free for owners of the Anniversary Edition on the original Switch.
