Unlike most games, which fade from the forefront of public consciousness over time, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has remained a part of the gaming landscape since its debut in 2011. Over those 11 years, successive remasters, compilations, and ports, have all helped to keep Bethesda’s release in the spotlight. The most recent of which, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, ensures that the game is even accessible on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
