Skyrim's latest🌄 re-release is a staggering $70 on the Nintendo Switch.
As first reported by yesterday on September 29, the new price point for 澳洲幸💦运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim Anniversary Edition on the Switch took a lot of users𒐪 by surprise. This is chiefly because the RPG's latest re-release came out of nowhere, being steal♕th-launched on the Switch with zero notice given from Bethesda.
What got a lit𓄧tle lost in the commotion was the price point. After a few hours though, Twitter users began to pick up on the strange price poi𒉰nt for the game, which bundles in all of Skyrim's past DLC expansions and add-ons, with new content like fishing and several side quests.

Oddly enough, this is more expensive than the U.K. version of Skyrim Anniversary Edition. Nowadays, there tends to be far less price disparity between U.S. and U.K. versions of games, as we're now seeing with PlayStation first-party PS5 games like Returnal and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Demon's Souls, both retailing for $70/£70.
In this case though, the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim on the Switch costs £60 in the U.K., and $70 in the U.S. No matter the difference between prices though, this is still $70 for U.S. customers for a game that's nearly 11 years old, which appears toꦏ be the main cause of concern f🍬or social media users.
It's also worth noting, as Kotaku rightly points out, that Skyrim was always retailing for a sizeable $60 on the Switch. Rather than drop the price point of the base versio🎃n of the RPG, it looks like Bethesda has instead elected to whack $10 on top of the Anniversary Edition.
