Bethesda explains why those who have Skyrim on PC will get its Special Edition for free — and why consoles won’t

Bethesda’s Pete Hines has taken to Twitter to explain why those who own The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PC will get its new, remastered Special Edition for free, while who own the title on Xbox 360 and PS3 will not.

The answer’s pretty obvious, to be frank.

Any questions?

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is available from 28 October on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
