Skyrim 15th anniversary: new bundle and 80% off sale

Skyrim turns 15 with a new Anniversary Bundle. Bethesda's November 11 Skyrim Anniversary Bundle announcement gathers five Creations into one pack and says it will stay on sale until December 12.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim first launched on November 11, 2011. Bethesda has also kicked off big discounts for the anniversary. Fans, though, are watching for the next game in the series, which we covered in our The Elder Scrolls 6 Sentinel official name story.

What is in the Skyrim Anniversary Bundle?

All five Creations come from Bethesda's Verified Creators and work on Xbox, PC and PlayStation. They cover a quest line, a follower, dungeons, a weapon and a new home.

• Legacy of Orsinium (Veelpot): a voiced Orc faction story with multiple endings
• Kaitryn Fair-Shadows (anbeegod): a new follower skilled in magic and healing who can be married
• Legendary Dungeons: Dwarven Delves (Trainwiz): two big dungeons adapted from ESO
• Arquebus (Shoeburglar): a Dwemer hand cannon powered by the Archery skill
• Shadetree Lodge (TheRealElianora): a new player home near Riften

Push Square's Skyrim anniversary report notes that the five Creations cost 3,000 credits if bought separately. The bundle costs 1,500 credits, so it is half price.

Bethesda has discounted the game on every platform. Skyrim Special Edition's Steam page shows it at 80% off in the US, down from $39.99 to $7.99. Push Square reports the same 80% cut for Special Edition on PS4 and PS5.

Three more Creation bundles are on offer alongside it. Ancient Treasures has four quest Creations and Echoes of Adventure has two. The Kinggath Creations Bundle brings together East Empire Expansion, Bard's College Expansion and Sigil of the Fallen. All of them stay in the Creations menu until December 12.

For more PlayStation offers, see our PlayStation Store Black Friday 2026 deals list. The Elder Scrolls Online is joining in too. Its Greymoor chapter has been added to the base game for free, and a Golden Pursuit campaign hands out Skyrim-themed rewards until December 2.

Is there any news on The Elder Scrolls 6 Sentinel?

No. Some fans hoped for Sentinel news on the anniversary, but Eurogamer's report on Bethesda's statement shows the studio shut that down itself. Bethesda Game Studios' official account said there would be no big announcement, adding that it will not share anything new on Sentinel for some time.

So the wait goes on. The Elder Scrolls 6 was first announced back in 2018. For Bethesda's last big showcase, see our Fallout Day 2026 announcements story, and for the latest at ZeniMax, read about id Software staff moving to MachineGames.

What does it mean for players?

If you have never played Skyrim, this is one of the cheapest ways in all year. Long-time players get new quests and a new follower from the Anniversary Bundle. Anyone waiting on Sentinel will need more patience.
