FULL STORY ======================================================================

Beloved RPG Skyrim can now officially be considered old, as it hits PC
gamings most popular storefront for classic games.

GOG (or Good Old Games) announced Skyrim would be coming to the platform celebrating the storefronts 14th anniversary. Still one of the best RPGs around, Skyrims original release and its updated Anniversary Edition are available to buy all over again both with hefty discounts.

After many years and lots of requests from our users, Skyrim, the fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls franchise, is live on GOG, the platform said in a press release. Old folks scrolls (Image credit: Bethesda Softworks)

As is usual with games sold on GOG, its versions of Skyrim will be DRM-free. You can install the game on as many systems as you want, dont need to be online to play, and dont even need to be logged into your GOG account to boot it up once its installed. You wont be required to log into the games Creation Club, either an add-on platform that lets you buy Bethesda-curated mods.

Owing to Skyrims huge popularity among modders, GOGs version of the RPG will be compatible out of the box with most modifications on Nexus Mods and
support Skyrim Script Extender a popular tool used by many mods for the
game. GOG says its also preparing something special to provide an even smoother modding experience, for which we can expect more details soon.

Many modern triple-A and indie releases are listed on GOG, but the storefront specializes in older titles. Earlier this year, it said in a blog post that
it wanted to refocus on retro games that hold a special place in players hearts. Skyrims addition to the platform shows its age, as it joins its predecessors in The Elder Scrolls series.

You can now find The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition and The
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition on GOG. If youre desperate to dip
back into the world of Tamriel, youre probably best taking Skyrim for another spin, since itll be years before The Elder Scrolls 6 launches. Two of the
best PS5 exclusives all but confirmed for PC thanks to leaks
