News: Experience going through Skyrim in a whole new way now that it is available in virtual reality through SteamVR.

Bethesda has revealed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available on PC through SteamVR. This release includes the complete open-world core game as well as its official add-ons - Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn - all in one package for PC users.

After a successful launch onto PlayStation VR, PC players can now experience the genre-defining epic fantasy masterpiece on SteamVR on all supported devices. Skyrim VR reimagines battling cursed Draugr, exploring rugged mountainsides and hunting fearsome, ancient dragons to be more immersive than ever before. Aided by made-for-VR control schemes allowing players to move, hack and slash at foes, and cast powerful magic with real-life movements, adventurers now have the control to explore the world of Skyrim any way they choose.

Of course, you need to have a PC that is capable of running Skyrim in VR. The specs for Skyrim in Steam VR include:
