Skyrim Special Edition drops to $7.99 on Steam, saving 80% on the RPG
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition is $7.99 on Steam, an 80% discount from its $39.99 US store price. The deal covers Bethesda’s updated edition of the open-world RPG and its original add-ons.
Steam showed the promotion ending November 18 when checked. The offer is for the Special Edition, so check the selected package carefully: the Anniversary Edition and its upgrade contain additional content and have separate prices. See the offer on Steam.
You need a free Steam account to buy the PC version. Regional prices and the precise end time can differ, and the price may change before checkout.

What comes with the Special Edition?
Skyrim sends players across a mountainous fantasy province as the Dragonborn, a character who can use powerful dragon shouts. The main quest sits alongside guild stories, dungeons and a large number of side quests that players can approach in their own order.
The Special Edition includes the base game and its Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn add-ons. Steam also lists support for player-created mods; check compatibility and installation instructions before adding them to an existing save.
The newer Anniversary Edition bundles further Creation Club content. The $7.99 offer should not be confused with a purchase of that entire package, even though both appear on the same store page.

Check your edition and device first
If you already own another edition of Skyrim, compare what is in your library before buying again. The separate Anniversary Upgrade is a different product and is not included in the stated $7.99 price.

Steam lists the game for Windows. Check the current system requirements and your device’s compatibility, particularly if you plan to use mods. The discount is based on Steam’s displayed US price, not a claim about the game’s lowest-ever price.
