Video games have a strange tendency to age the people that play them; one minute, it seems like a game or console is cutting-edge, the next, it’s now retro. That seems to be the case for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim players that have now realized the game turns 10-years-old this year. Released on November 11th, 2011 on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, the game quickly became one of the most highly-acclaimed of all-time. Over the years, Skyrim has been ported to a number of platforms, most recently Nintendo Switch. While the game is getting dangerously close to becoming “retro,” it seems that Skyrim has aged like a fine wine!

Still worth it after all these years!
Itโs crazy to me that Skyrim came out almost 10 years ago and yet it still costs $50 because itโs still so good and so popular. Bless the mods.

A lot of others took the opportunity to ask Bethesda for a new Elder Scrolls.
