As of today, Skyrim is now natively available on Nintendo Switch 2. Specifically, the version of Skyrim that has hit Nintendo’s new console is that of the Anniversary Edition, which comes with all of its post-launch expansions. While the Switch 1 version of Skyrim: Anniversary Edition was already playable on Switch 2 via its backward compatible functionality, Bethesda has now taken advantage of the upgraded Nintendo console’s new features to incorporate improved visuals, shorter load times, better performance stability, and Joy-Con 2 mouse support. All in all, this could end up being the best version of the game that can be played on portable devices.
If you’re looking to pick up this new Switch 2 edition of Skyrim, you might be able to do so without having to spend a dime. This release on Switch 2 is completely free for those who already happen to own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Switch 1. So if you already bought the game before, all you’ll have to do is visit the Nintendo eShop to snag its upgraded option and begin downloading it.
