It’s one that the Switch handles with aplomb I might add. Sure, it’s an older game and less graphically intense, but rendering a persistent open-world is no mean feat. Speaking of processing power, like DOOM before it, Skyrim on Switch is a bit of a miracle. Then again, it’s unlikely that the Switch would be able to handle any mods thanks to the limited storage space and reduced processing power. It’s a bit of a shame considering the Xbox One and PS4 versions both received mod support last year. One thing you won’t be able to play are any mods. Even all three DLCs are present and accounted for.

And all of it has been included in the Switch version.

The world of The Elder Scrolls is a fantasy world heavily influenced by Dungeons and Dragons. Skyrim is set within the nation of Skyrim on the continent of Tamriel. Each of the games in the series is an open-world RPG. Skyrim is the fifth title in the long-running Elder Scrolls series. But for the uninformed, let’s do the cliff-notes version. I’d hope by now that I don’t need to explain just what Skyrim is. All that matters is that as of right now, you can hold The Elder Scrolls in the palm of your hands.

It doesn’t matter that it’s nearly seven-years-old or that its visuals haven’t aged too well. Just the fact that a game of the scope and magnitude of Skyrim can be played on a portable device boggles the mind. It’s a milestone in the quantum leap gaming continues to go through on a yearly basis. It’s no wonder then that when Nintendo unveiled the Switch early last year and included footage of Skyrim fans went berserk.īeing able to play Skyrim, wherever and whenever you like is a huge deal. Regardless of the platform you’re playing it on, Skyrim is guaranteed to be a good time. There’s a reason Bethesda has released and re-released Skyrim so many times.
