Skyrim: Special Edition is the remastered and overhauled offspring of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The PS4 Pro will hit shelves in November for $399, for those of you who want to play Skyrim: Special Edition on the beefed up flagship console. In addition to all the features mentioned above, the special edition will also support 4K gameplay for the PlayStation 4 Pro, good news for those who are eyeing the console as its release date draws nearer. So players both old and new have plenty to enjoy in the title. The core game is intact, alongside three DLC packages, new quests, environments, equipment and more. Remastered art and effects, volumetric lighting, dynamic depth of field and other graphical touch-ups pepper the re-release, which comes as an admirable nod of the original game that spawned the "arrow to the knee" fanaticism, alongside a host of memes that added to the frenzy.

According to the publisher, the game will support mods on consoles, which is a major functionality for non-PC Skyrim players, given that mods are widely popular among the Skyrim community.

Gamers wouldn't want another Halo: Reach debacle.īethesda also detailed the specific overhauls that were coming to Skyrim: Special Edition. The minimum and recommended requirements are significantly more demanding than those of the original game in 2011, but because of the remastered components of the game, it's simply logical for the special edition to need more horsepower to run smoothly. The reason for Europe's larger size is the added language options inside the game. For Xbox One players, prepare to have at least 17 GB (North America) and 25 GB (Europe) of free storage to install the game.
