Skyrim Anniversary Edition File Size
For players on PC, Skyrim Anniversary Edition is going to cost about 12 GB worth of space. As far as modern games go, this is incredibly light and this will allow you to download it without much worry about needing to clear space. This will be the same requirement on the Playstation and Xbox versions as well, with less space being required if you just upgrade rather than buying the full game.
New Quests and Features
While you’ve probably played Skyrim before, this time around you’re going to be getting some shiny new graphics along with a bunch of new questlines and more importantly, the Survival Mode which takes a page out of modern survival games and makes you think about if you have enough food, are keeping warm and other new features that are similar to the modes presented in recent Fallout games.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition will likely satisfy the masses and for the first time players, they will get the definitive edition that provides 100’s of hours of adventure and despite it being 10 years old, the game holds up in many ways and this new version should make it feel even closer to modern games.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition is available 11/11/2021 For PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
