Bethesda Announces The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition Free Weekend

Your achievements and progress carry over so there's no risk to trying the free version.

Bethesda just announced that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is getting a free weekend on Xbox One.

The Special Edition offers many texture improvements and it includes all the DLCs along with many new content like new quests, characters etc. You better start downloading it now if you have awful internet speeds, like yours truly, or you'll miss out.

Skyrim Special Edition also brings the full power of PC mods to consoles.

The fifth Elder Scrolls game takes players to the cold and tundra-filled country of Skyrim, a land that's wracked by civil war and troubles with a sudden invasion of dragons.


If you fit into this incredibly small group of people I have good news, you can play Skyrim for free on Xbox One this weekend. It will be on sale in the Xbox Store as well, although the price will be $30 instead of the normal $59.99.

Play for free today with Xbox Live Gold!

If you think about Skyrim as a whole, the game is on almost every different console and platform you could imagine. This might be the time when you decided whether you'd like to buy The Special Edition or not.

Anyway, if you haven't played it, give it a go. The Xbox One version of Skyrim Special Edition is 16.36GB. You will not be disappointed if RPG is what you enjoy.
