What it is
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR is a single-player role-playing game from Bethesda Game Studios, released for Windows. It reworks Skyrim as a VR open-world adventure, placing players in Tamriel as the Dragonborn, a hero with the power of the Voice. The story concerns the return of dragons and the Empire’s uncertain future. Players can explore mountains and other parts of the open world and face dragons. Skyrim VR includes the core game and three official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. The Steam listing marks it as VR Only and lists VR support, tracked controller support, full controller support, achievements, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and SteamVR Collectibles. Its genre is listed as RPG, and its Steam age rating is 17. The game’s focus on VR means the experience is designed for virtual reality rather than standard play without VR.
