The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim for Nintendo Switch
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Nintendo Switch brings one of the greatest open-world RPGs to your hands and TV. Developed by Bethesda Game Studios, Skyrim transports you to the rugged and snow-torn provinces of Tamriel, where ancient dragons have returned, and an unknown evil threatens the land. You play as the Dragonborn, a prophesied hero born with the power of The Voice, who must rise to meet the challenge.
This edition includes all the official expansion content—Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn—allowing you to enjoy new quests, regions, and storyline arcs that deepen the world. Switch-specific enhancements make this version special: motion controls let you use Joy-Con gestures for combat and lockpicking; amiibo compatibility adds special gear such as the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, or Champion’s Tunic; and outfits inspired by The Legend of Zelda series offer fun customization. The game supports playing at home on TV, on-the-go in handheld mode, or in tabletop mode— wherever fits your style.
Skyrim’s freedom is at the heart of the experience. You can follow the main quest, join guilds, craft weapons and armor, build your own home, engage in magic, sneak, fight, explore dungeons, or simply roam the wilderness. Every choice matters: your character’s race, skills, spells, and abilities define how you interact with the world. Whether you want a calm exploration or fierce dragon battles, Skyrim on Switch offers you a chance to live another life in another world.
