In order to upgrade and start the Anniversary Edition of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you will need to head into your gaming platform’s relevant store. Now, these stores will differ across platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Downloading this edition will cost you USD $49.99/EUR €54.99/GBP £47.99/AUD $79.95/RUB 3399. However, if you already own the Skyrim Special Edition from 2016, you will be able to upgrade to the Anniversary Edition for only USD $19.99/EUR €19.99/GBP £15.99/AUD $29.95/RUB 1429.

If you download this edition of the game or the Special Edition on your PS5 or Xbox Series X/S, you will also receive a free patch. This patch is exclusive to next-gen platforms, and it will offer improved graphics along with slower loading times.

Additionally, you can also purchase physical copies of the Anniversary Edition from stores. However, prices for the same are unknown as of now. Also, you will need access to the internet in order to redeem and download the Creation Club packs.

With that being said, you will still receive four free Creation Club modes. You will get these modes even without the upgrade. These modes are Survival, Rare Curios, Fishing, and Saints & Seducers. These upgrades will further enlarge the Skyrim world.
