Skyrim: Anniversary Edition causes frustration among fans with jerking, bugs and an expensive price
Skyrim is now available for purchase again in a new version that wasn’t previously available on the Switch.
Skyrim is now also available in the Anniversary Edition on the Nintendo Switch. Theoretically, this means that you can finally enjoy the slightly polished version with slightly nicer graphics and additional content on Nintendo’s hybrid console. But the joy doesn’t last long for many fans: This version leaves a lot to be desired technically and also costs a lot more than it would be appropriate for such an old game in this condition.
Skyrim: Anniversary Edition was released for the Nintendo Switch
What is this about? Bethesda continues to roll out its mega-blockbuster and open-world milestone, Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. This time in the anniversary edition, which is now also available for the Nintendo Switch. It contains, among other things, some mods made by fans, but you can now also fish, for example.

Skyrim fans are angry: The Switch Anniversary Edition costs 70 euros
Upgrading causes frustration: Actually, some Skyrim fans are still looking forward to new releases. Or people who have never played Skyrim. In any case, there are people who have been waiting for the release of the Anniversary Edition for the switch so that they can now treat themselves to the complete package – and have been bitterly disappointed.
Old game for 70 euros? The pricing in particular seems almost absurd to many. Skyrim should buy almost 70 euros in the Switch Anniversary Edition if you don’t even own it yet. If you already have a version, you can upgrade for 20 euros.

Even with brand new PS5 blockbusters, a price tag of this magnitude still causes heated debates. But with a game that was originally released back in 2011 and has only been marginally improved since then, this is met with little understanding. Especially when there are so many technical problems.

Skyrim: Anniversary Edition runs worse than ever on the upgraded Switch
Performance in the basement and crashes: Apparently, the Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the Nintendo Switch works worse after the upgrade than before. At least countless players on the net complain about massive lags, low frame rates, jerking and many crashes. Some even go so far as to call the game “unplayable” in this state:

While Skyrim was running fairly well on the Nintendo Switch before the upgrade, things seem to be quite different after downloading the update to the Anniversary Edition. Frame rate drops, especially in cities.

Waiting for a patch: The fans have no choice but to hope that a patch will be released soon. It seems questionable that much will change in the pricing policy. Even more exciting now, however, is the question of whether other games will appear for the switch in the future at a price of 70 euros.
What do you think of this questionable upgrade? How is the game doing for you on the switch?
