Bethesda is celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with a limited-time Nintendo Switch eShop sale. The original version of the fantasy RPG is receiving a 60% discount in the US, reducing its price from $49.99 to $19.99.
According to Nintendo of America’s announcement, the promotion began on November 11 at 9 AM PT and will remain available until December 2 at 11:59 PM PT.
The discount currently applies to the original Switch release, rather than the Anniversary Edition. Players looking to purchase the expanded version should check their regional eShop listings before buying.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition Owners Get a Free Switch 2 Upgrade
The anniversary celebrations also bring some additional news for existing players. Those who already own Skyrim Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch can access a free Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade.
Bethesda has also released a special Anniversary Creation Bundle for Xbox, PC, and PlayStation. The bundle includes five Creations from verified creators, offering additional quests, companions, weapons, locations, and other content.
The 15th-anniversary sale gives Switch owners an opportunity to revisit Skyrim or experience its open-world adventure for the first time at a lower price.
