For the first time, you can experience Skyrim on the go with a full-fledged edition for Nintendo Switch, incorporating all three expansions — Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. This edition is based on the Special Edition, combining all patches and updates along with Switch-specific enhancements.
Play either in handheld mode or docked to the TV. The Switch version adds motion controls for combat and lockpicking, plus amiibo compatibility, offering gear and outfits inspired by The Legend of Zelda series.
Skyrim's vast open world lets you be anyone and roam anywhere. You’ll dive into caves, towns, hidden paths, battle monsters, and confront legends. The central story follows the Dragonborn, a hero capable of using the power of the “Thu’um” (voice) to challenge foes like the dragon Alduin.
Graphically, the Switch edition maintains solid visuals and ambient effects, though some graphical details like shadows and foliage are scaled down to maintain stable performance on the platform.
