The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is a remastered version of Skyrim released in October 2016 and only available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Special Edition is 64-bit and built on an updated version of the Creation Engine that Bethesda Game Studios used for Fallout 4. The remastered game features high-resolution textures, upgraded graphic effects including new shaders and volumetric god rays, and dynamic field-depth. Skyrim VR is a version based on Special Edition but only supports virtual reality headsets.
Special Edition includes all three official add-ons, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. An in-game mod browser is introduced, allowing players to download approved mods from Bethesda.net. This support is extended to players of the console versions for the first time in the series, although PS4 players cannot use mods with custom-made assets. The Creation Club offers paid official add-on content exclusive to the Special Edition.
Special Edition has all the original Patches installed, and there is ongoing patch support with the Special Edition Patch. For updated system requirements, see the official specifications.

Compatibility with Classic Skyrim[edit]Save files[edit]
PC players can use unmodified save files from the original game by copying or moving the save file from the Skyrim user folder to the Skyrim Special Edition user folder. Some modded save games may function on Special Edition if all of its mod dependencies are present. If a 'This save relies on content that is no longer present' warning is displayed when loading a modded save from Skyrim on Special Edition, then that save must not be used at all and may crash the game upon attempting to load.
Characters from ported save files will not be displayed separately on the main load menu. This can be fixed by opening the console, typing the command
showracemenu and then immediately saving changes.
Save files from Special Edition cannot be used at all in the classic version of the game.
Mods[edit]How Much Space Does Skyrim Take Up
Achievements are disabled when using mods. A warning will be displayed when loading a save with ESP plugins enabled, and future save files will be prefixed with
[M] to denote it as a modded save file.
ESP and ESM files for Special Edition are not compatible with the original release. The game will not launch if a Special Edition plugin or BSA archive is in the Data folder. ESL files are ignored by the classic version of the game as it does not support the format.
Mods for the original release must be updated to function correctly on Special Edition, otherwise they may crash the game. Mods that edit exterior cells with water in them will also need to include additional water flow information to support the new shaders, otherwise water will not be displayed correctly.

Skyrim Special Edition PS4 file size confirmed for Europe and U.S.
Skyrim Special Edition will take up considerably more space on your PS4 in Europe, presumably due to the various languages that are required. As such, you will need to free up 33GB of space as opposed to just 20GB in North America.
Interestingly, the PS4 version of the critically acclaimed fantasy RPG takes up more space than the Xbox One version, which requires 17GB and 25GB for Europe and U.S., respectively.
Skyrim Special Edition is scheduled for release on PS4, PC, and Xbox One on October 28. The game is a fully remastered edition of the 2011 original, including improved textures, volumetric lighting, dynamic depth of field, and more, as well as including mod support for the first time on home consoles. In addition, all available downloadable content is included in the package.
Aside from the visual enhancements available for PS4 players, Bethesda has confirmed that Skyrim Special Edition will also support PS4 Pro at launch, allowing gamers to experience the game in 4K.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released in November 2011 for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360, and garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics at the time. The game has sold over 20 million copies worldwide to date, and spawned three major expansions: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.
