Even after 13 years, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is proving it’s a timeless classic. Bethesda’s legendary RPG is currently on sale for a whopping 90% off, bringing the price of the updated Special Edition down to just $3.99. This deal has caused a surge in player activity, with Skyrim making its way back onto Steam’s most-played games list. Over the weekend, the game peaked at 67,622 concurrent players, landing it just outside the top 25 and competing with newer releases like Helldivers 2 and Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

The Special Edition, released in 2016, has consistently maintained a loyal player base, rarely dropping below 25,000 concurrent players since 2020. However, this recent sale has sparked a wave of new interest, with numbers approaching the edition’s all-time peak of 69,906 players at launch. Whether it’s veteran adventurers returning to explore Tamriel’s vast landscapes or newcomers eager to experience the epic storylines and countless mods for the first time, Skyrim’s appeal remains as strong as ever.

For those who somehow haven’t played Skyrim yet, or for those who want to rediscover it, this sale is the perfect opportunity. From battling dragons to mastering magic or stealing through the shadows as a rogue, Skyrim offers something for everyone. But don’t wait too long, this deal ends Monday at 1 p.m. EST. After all, the chance to own one of gaming’s most beloved titles for less than $4 doesn’t come around often.

Whether you’re new to the game or a long-time fan, this sale is a reminder that Skyrim isn’t just a game, it’s a phenomenon that continues to enchant millions worldwide.
