The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, an enduring masterpiece from renowned developer Bethesda, marked its 10th anniversary in 2021 with the release of the Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
This celebratory edition delivered a comprehensive experience for fans and newcomers alike by bundling the core game with all previously released expansions, as well as introducing fresh content such as new quests, a robust selection of community-created mods, and the much-requested fishing feature.
For Nintendo Switch owners, anticipation has run particularly high.
When Skyrim Anniversary Edition originally launched in 2021, the Switch platform was notably absent from the roster of supported systems.
However, Bethesda has now addressed that with a surprise release, making the Anniversary Edition available to Switch users as both a standalone bundle and a DLC upgrade for those who already own the original Skyrim release on the eShop.
This move both celebrates the game's longevity and reaffirms Bethesda's commitment to bringing premium experiences to Nintendo’s increasingly popular hybrid console. Switch players stand to benefit not only from all the Anniversary Edition’s new content—such as the extended questlines, expanded Creation Club offerings, and fishing—but also from enduring platform exclusives.
These include Joy-Con motion controls for a unique, immersive gameplay experience and exclusive in-game items like Zelda-themed gear, which can be unlocked by scanning select amiibo figures.
The inclusion of these features reflects how the Switch edition continues to stand apart in Bethesda's multi-platform strategy, leveraging Nintendo’s hardware and ecosystem to offer distinct value. Since its original debut in 2011, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold over thirty million copies globally and is widely recognized as one of the most influential open-world RPGs of all time.
This Anniversary Edition release on Nintendo Switch ensures that a new generation of players, as well as longtime fans, can explore the vast realm of Skyrim in unprecedented ways.
Bethesda continues to support the title across platforms, ensuring ongoing relevance more than a decade after its initial launch. The Skyrim Anniversary Edition is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop, allowing players to embark on new adventures and enjoy content updates that commemorate the game’s storied legacy.
This latest chapter further solidifies Skyrim’s place in gaming history and expands Bethesda’s relationship with the dedicated Nintendo audience.
