Bethesda Game Studios has officially launched The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2, further expanding one of gaming’s most acclaimed open-world RPGs to Nintendo’s newest hardware.
First released in 2011 and celebrated for its vast world and modding community, Skyrim now brings its Anniversary Edition to the hybrid console packed with upgrades and exclusive content for Nintendo fans. The Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 includes the full base game and all three comprehensive DLC expansions: Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Hearthfire.
Players now have access to these iconic add-ons, which have become essential chapters in the Skyrim experience. With the move to Nintendo Switch 2, Bethesda has introduced a range of platform-specific enhancements.
According to official statements from Bethesda, the new version delivers improved resolution, optimized load times, enhanced overall performance, and expanded control options.
Unique to this platform are Joy-Con 2 mouse support, motion controls, and full compatibility with amiibo figures, providing a richer, more interactive gameplay experience than ever before on Nintendo hardware. A notable highlight for Nintendo enthusiasts is the inclusion of exclusive content inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Players can equip the legendary Master Sword, don the Hylian Shield, and wear the Champion’s Tunic—bringing beloved Zelda iconography into the world of Skyrim.
This crossover content builds on the strong partnership between Bethesda and Nintendo, honoring both franchises’ loyal fanbases. In addition to the base game and expansions, the Anniversary Edition grants access to hundreds of unique items from the Creation Club.
These downloadable additions introduce new quests, weapons, armor sets, spells, dungeons, and more, allowing players to tailor their adventures and continuously explore new aspects of Tamriel. The digital version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition is now available globally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2, retailing for $59.99 USD.
Existing owners who previously purchased the Anniversary Edition for the original Nintendo Switch can upgrade to the Switch 2 version at no additional cost.
Meanwhile, players who own the standard Skyrim version on Nintendo Switch have the option to purchase an Anniversary Upgrade for $19.99, which unlocks content for both the current and new-generation hardware. This latest release continues Bethesda Game Studios’ legacy of support for the Skyrim franchise and expands its presence across Nintendo platforms, reaffirming the ongoing appeal of the title among both veteran adventurers and new players alike.
