The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Surpasses 60 Million in Lifetime Sales

Bethesda Game Studios has announced that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has crossed a whopping 60 million in lifetime sales.

The last update was 30 million in 2016. Now it's double. Damn!

That's what happens when you re-release the same game over and over for more than 10 years on every platform available.

This is very true. But I only bought it and played it once out of all the releases. And that was in VR. It was very cool. Actually feeling like you are there.

Wish they did more VR like it. But Microsoft purchasing them and other devs killed any future VR from them for now.

excaliburps684d ago

LOL! Yeah. We should get Skyrim 100th Year Anniversary Edition on the PS15 or something.

shinoff2183684d ago

Shadow, that's one of my regrets was I never got to play that before I had to sell my psvr. I was really hoping that psvr would've eventually got fallout 4 in vr but like you said that's out the window

Fonsecap684d ago

No, this happens when you release a great game. If it was bad, people wouldn't buy it even if there was 20 versions of it. Although I have to agree that this anniversary edition was too much.

I love Skyrim. I still go back to it every to it every so often. Impressive sales.

TheA3ther684d ago

Was the first RPG that I played on my old laptop. Crazy how well it runs on low-end devices

shinoff2183684d ago

It's been released on so many consoles and such. Still really good though. Well bethesada sales will change alot from here on out

PrimeVinister628d ago

I'm not a dentist but I believe that's averages out at around 150 copies for every platform the game has appeared on.

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic9d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee10d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator10d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast9d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
