Bethesda today launches yet another version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - a game that made its original debut on 11th November 2011 across multiple platforms including Xbox 360.
The latest release is the 'Anniversary Edition' - celebrating 10 years of adventuring. To help promote this title, Bethesda has rolled out a new launch trailer. Our colleagues over at Push Square even get a shout-out at the beginning of it.
If you are thinking about replaying Skyrim, and happen to own the Special Edition - you're eligible for an upgrade for the price of £15.99 / $19.99. If you are a first-time player though, you'll need to fork out £47.99 / $49.99.
Bethesda is also providing a free Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S upgrade for Skyrim Special Edition on November 11th - which includes Creation Club content and the introduction of Survival Mode and Fishing. You can get the full rundown in the overview trailer below:

Wasn't able to test this this morning and can't find confirmation online - if you download Skyrim SE through Game Pass, are you eligible for the £15.99 upgrade or do you have to pay the full whack?
@MattWithoutFear You can pay for the £16 upgrade if you're a Game Pass user.

@Xeno_Aura result! Thank you! Completely missed this article.
didnt the last version have a surival mode, so thats not new and it dosen't look anydiffent graphically, take its just 4K and better framerates?
Could someone who purchases the Creation Club content addition to the game, please confirm whether or not all of the mods (or some of them only) disable the achievements (as they did in Fallout 4 or maybe the original release of the Special Edition of Skyrim, I cannot remember which, maybe both)? Thank you.
I have the Special Edition version of the game, and am tempted to get the Creation Club bit (which I assume is what costs £15.99) but a big part of the fun in playing any game, is hunting down those achievements, and so if the Creation Club mods disable them, it seems rather pointless for me, personally, to get it.
So far, I've learned that you can upgrade on the game pass version and that although the graphics aren't that specially enhanced the game does play a hell lot smoother.
You have to go into the creation club to make sure they're all downloaded and installed. Luckily press Y, downloads all. I
Personally for me, it's revitalised the game yet again, having so much more to do has made me once again obsessed with Skyrim. From a courier handing you a mysterious dinner invitation to finding some badass oblivion armour on a dead guy. There's more to explore and more to do, I'm loving it.
However you might need to go into the creation club page and find out how to find these things which, is sometimes a tad annoying.
Either way really glad that gamepass allows you to still update it
Thank you, @SplooshDmg
@MattWithoutFear yes. You also get the usual Game Pass 10% off. Though I’d check what is included. Most of it is new armour or weapons none of which look that great imho.
There is a free upgrade that already offers the best parts of anniversary edition. I.e. upgraded graphics, faster load times, fishing, a few new quests and survival mode etc.
The extra anniversary content didn’t seem worth it to me but ymmv
Have we seen anything about what the "next gen" graphics upgrade is all about? These trailers are looking pretty much the same to me. Is the upgrade out yet for existing owners?
