Summary

  • Skyrim is available on Steam for $3.99, a 90% discount, including all DLC.
  • Bethesda's re-releases & community mods have kept Skyrim popular.
  • Act fast, as the deal ends on January 20.

Over 13 years after its initial release, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has dropped to a new historically low price on Steam. The new Skyrim offer makes the game available for just $3.99 at a 90% discount for the first time, although gamers need to act fast if they're to take advantage of this deal.

Skyrim boasts longevity unlike very few games. Bethesda's 2011 open-world RPG remains extremely popular to this day, with a dedicated community of players hopping on for their Skyrim fix on a daily basis. This is partly due to Bethesda's insistence on re-releasing the game multiple times, ensuring it has stayed relevant throughout multiple console generations. The community itself has played a big role in its enduring popularity, too, with talented modders releasing thousands of amazing Skyrim mods over the years to help keep the game feeling like it could have been released in the modern day.

Gamers can now head to Steam and pick up Skyrim for just $3.99. This represents a massive 90% discount on the game, and a new lowest-ever price from the previous price of $7.99. Best of all, it's the Special Edition that is on offer at this price. This means that it comes with all of Skyrim's main DLC, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. For any gamer who hasn't experienced Skyrim before, it's the perfect opportunity to pick up Bethesda's RPG with everything included. Looking at it from a cost-per-hour perspective, $3.99 represents ridiculous value for money considering the amount of content the game has to offer.

Skyrim Drops to New Lowest Ever Steam Price

Any gamer who wants to take advantage of this epic Skyrim deal must act fast. Steam considers it a weekend deal, so it is set to end on January 20. Even if this particular deal is set to expire very soon, Skyrim has generally been on sale frequently on Steam. Now that Bethesda has broken the 90% price barrier, hopefully, it isn't the last time Skyrim ??????drops to $3.99.

It's easy to forget that Bethesda actually announced The Elder Scrolls 6 back in 2018, but the studio has been very quiet on the long-awaited sequel since. To this day, it's not clear how far in development the game actually was when it was announced, and many feel that Bethesda jumped the gun a little with that. With Starfield now complete, the pathway is a little more clear for Bethesda to discuss more about The Elder Scrolls 6. It will be interesting to see if there's any movement in this regard in 2025.
