Hello friends, Call of Duty Vanguard is out now and I have a team at Lab42 that worked very, very hard on the campaign so I hope the small handful of people that still buy those games here and play the campaigns enjoy it!

I didnt realize this was suppose to be out now! I have my complaints about activision, but I hope your work is recognized and received positively. The campaigns are always very impressive.

If you have game pass you can get the $45 premium bundle and it gives you the DLC expansions and car pass plus the early access without having to buy the whole game.

Nice I ended up buying it because I haven’t spent any money on a Horizon game since the first one. Happy to support the developers a bit more.

The MSRP for the Skyrim Anniversary Edition on digital storefronts will be USD $49.99/EUR €54.99/GBP £47.99/AUD $79.95/RUB 3399 at launch.

If you already own Skyrim Special Edition, the MSRP for the Anniversary Upgrade on digital storefronts will be USD $19.99/EUR €19.99/GBP £15.99/AUD $29.95/RUB 1429 at launch.

Prices and availability may differ by region or platform. Check your local retailer for your local price.

Will there be a physical version of the Anniversary Edition?

Yes, there will be physical copies of the Anniversary Edition available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems. Please note that while the physical edition contains a game disc, internet access is required to redeem and download the Creation Club content included in the Anniversary Edition.

Prices and availability for physical copies may vary, check your local retailer for details.

Is Skyrim getting a next-gen upgrade?


Yes! Owners of Skyrim Special Edition or the Anniversary Edition on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will receive a next-generation upgrade for the game. The upgrade will be free and optimize the game with enhanced graphics, faster loading times and more.

Will my achievements/trophies carry over?


Any achievement/trophy progress earned playing on Skyrim Special Edition will carry over to the Anniversary Edition, EXCEPT when upgrading the PlayStation 4 version of the game to the PlayStation 5 version.


Wonder how it works if you buy the upgrade on a GamePass copy of the game , I presume you'll lose the license when you stop subbing?

I wouldn't be surprised it it wasn't available - the backend knows if you've bought it or just have it with GP.

You can buy DLC for games on gamepass though and Skyrim will never leave GP so I'm thinking it'll will be like that? I guess this is not classed as DLC so maybe not.

I haven't touched Skyrim in about 8 years and only played the 1st dlc and never any of the mods. With all the added stuff I'm pretty excited about buying it again! I think it's a good deal for people who haven't been playing it all the time for the last 10 years.

Plus with game pass if it's only going to be 20 bucks...

I mean Christ, all I did was make this rerelease to support next gen hardware which actually pleasantly surprised me, and folks are voting this store page "crap" and suggesting I'm scamming them. I've said repeatedly that this was just an anniversary edition and in no way new content. I've said the items were user created from Creation Club, so I'm not trying to hide anything. I've-

I should've learned my lesson long ago and never left the intelligent, rational publisher where I don't have to deal with clueless idiots and morons like you people. I'm going back to Zenimax and staying there, since it has a microscopic fraction of the idiots and trolls populating Microsoft.

I guess that should strike me as being ironic, but it's more sad to me than anything. Thanks for running me out of my own goddamn game.

I guess my only real disappointment is that graphically speaking, it doesn't really do anything for me beyond what the One games were already able to achieve, but I suppose part of that is that I was already playing the PC version with max graphics settings. I was just hoping the Series X version would have some really jaw dropping stuff, but how would anyone even know (because what sort of animal would play at 30 fps)?

It's all kind of moot because the setting is 1000x better than soggy uk and there's so much diversity in biome and I'm blowing past everything at 200 mph anyway, and game is incredibly fun. I'll be playing this for years.

Wow I'm surprised. I've not played 5 yet but watched a bunch of streams and even in those it's a step up from what I see in 4 on my Series X. There's a level of fine detail to textures and ground detail that wasn't there before, the lighting and haze and all that looks way better, the cars looks crisper - I know they're not raytracing in gameplay but the reflections look better, and the detail in the distance is way way better.

You're probably right, I think part of it is just that these were already phenomenal looking games so it just doesn't stand out as much of an improvement or whatever. The change in scenery alone is significant though, imo.

Didn't play FH1, huh? :imunfunny:

I do think now that I've played a little more, I am really impressed and pleased by how much road racing stuff there is and how good the tracks and sprints have been. Physics feels better for on track stuff than I've ever noticed in a Horizon game as well. drat this game is good.
