The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Receives Crucial Patch and Major Discount on Nintendo Switch 2

Bethesda’s iconic role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, made headlines earlier this month with its surprise launch for Nintendo Switch 2.

However, early adopters quickly noticed that the game suffered from input latency issues, affecting the overall gameplay experience.

Responding to community feedback, Bethesda released a critical patch this week to resolve these problems, demonstrating its commitment to supporting Skyrim on the latest Nintendo hardware. The patch targets reports of delayed responsiveness during gameplay, ensuring players experience smoother controls on the Nintendo Switch 2.

In an official statement, Bethesda clarified that the update addresses input lag, leading to a more responsive and immersive adventure for both new and returning players. To coincide with this important update, Bethesda and Nintendo have introduced a significant sale on the Skyrim Anniversary Edition Bundle across a range of regions including the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

From now until December 31, 2025, the Anniversary Edition Bundle—which includes both the base Skyrim game and the Anniversary Upgrade—has been discounted by 60%.

Players can now purchase the bundle for £21.19 or 23,99 €, down from the standard price of £52.99 or 59,99 €.

The Anniversary Upgrade alone is also available at a reduced price of £8.99 or 9,99 €, a 50% savings off its regular retail rate. These special offers are part of Nintendo’s ongoing holiday sale and are available for purchase via the Nintendo eShop.

For those who already own the original Switch version of Skyrim’s Anniversary Edition, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is available as a free upgrade, making the transition to the new console seamless for dedicated fans. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has maintained lasting popularity since its original release in 2011, and its arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 further cements its place as one of the most influential RPGs of its generation.

With Bethesda’s prompt attention to technical issues and the enticing discounts now available, the Switch 2 release offers both new and loyal players an optimal opportunity to explore Skyrim’s open-world adventure.

Players are encouraged to take advantage of this limited-time sale and experience the improved performance first-hand.
