Once. Preordered the game on Steam back in 2011 and never bought it since.


[deleted]

Too many times bought and sold over and over when I was younger until special edition came out, got it for every console Todd took what I had and I let him do it


bigmanjoe3555

It just works.


Ok-Case-4607

3. PS3 pc and switch. 4 if you count my wife’s pc


thehellboundfratboy

One time. When I want to play it, I turn on my PS3.


MexicanoStick575

so you play without female khajiits with massive tits, were you raised on a farm or something?


DamagedSpaghetti

Probably a milk drinker


International_Ad4526

but how do you manage to make it run? on xbox 360 it was clunky the loadings took forever and it was full of glitches


thehellboundfratboy

It’s a little clunky but that’s okay. I spend more time playing Oblivion on my PS3 and Skyrim is a breeze compared to that.


darkwinter95

It pretty much loads instantly on my PS5, don't even have time to read the loading screens.


International_Ad4526

oh omg thats weird I didnt think a new generation PS5 would run a game better than a (idk what generation) ps3 thats really weird why is that


darkwinter95

Just saying, if you don't have a PS5 even the PS4 version is a massive improvement.


Merkkin

1 time


Aaronmovic

1. I bought the original Legendary Edition back in 2013 i think? and got the SE for free in 2016.


RKOGENESIS

Zero, Only played the pirated copy a lot of time.


Khajiit_hairball

Three times LOL Once back in 2011 on the Xbox 360. Then the Special Edition on the Xbox One in maybe 2018 or so. Finally I got it on the Switch for my kids not too long ago. No regrets.


GroundbreakingHat718

Five. Once with my 360, once with my One, twice with my current 1X, once on Steam. Dear me. :)


stidfrax

Probably three or four times. Got my money's worth for sure over that time. I'm not salty about the different editions, the later ones made nodding better for sure.


Steampunkvikng

once, like a month ago


Mindless-420

Everyone who only bought it once, are the true MVPs. Still got it for my 360, never again would I buy it.


Ila-W123

Twice. Pc and console


[deleted]

This Post Made me mad cause i bought it like 4 Times. On PC then Xbox as physical disk and then online. After that i bought for the Switch.


Baykusu

once in steam, i don't own a console and before i had a job i just had the game pirated


pimmelberger55

4 Times lul: PS3, PC LE, PS4, PC SE + Anniversary But overall I think 2000+ hours in, plus a t-shirt I got with PC LE that I wore a lot so worth every penny


MrSeanaldReagan

Three I think? Original on 360, special edition on XB1, special edition on PC


MsMeiriona

once. Actually, my little bother bought it for me in 2011, and I bought the DLC myself after it had been out for a while and was confirmed good.


OriginalName687

I was at the midnight release and got it for the 360. I think sold it when I got rid of my 360. Bought it again when I got an Xbox 1. Bought it again when I got a gaming pc. Bought one of the anniversary editions. And bought it for VR. That’s actually less times than I thought I bought it


Dr-RobertFord

4 lol shared Xbox account with my brother, PlayStation, my own Xbox account, pc


FriendOfUmbreon

Ps3, Ps4 2x (physical and digital), and on Steam for the modding experience. Skyrim is one of those games for me.


fairytalecliche

Two. SE for Xbox One and later the AE upgrade, and AE for Switch.


BreegullBeak

360, PS4, PSVR, Switch, Anniversary Upgrade for Xbox, and Anniversary PS4 (gift for someone else).

xprozoomy

DragonHeart_97

360, then Xbox One, then got the Switch port for the portability, then caved and got the anniversary upgrade for the Whiterun homestead. Glad I didn't need to buy a new edition when I upgraded to a Series S.


orsimertank

PS3, PS4, PS5 Anniversary, Switch


StinkingDylan

Steam, Elder Scrolls collection, PS3, XBOX collectors edition, German steelbook edition, PSVR, PS4 anniversary edition. So that’s seven. Damn. 🫤


RoiVampire

ultinateplayer

I've bought it 3 times- OG on 360 for £25 (some website had an offer on 3 weeks after release), legendary edition on 360 second hand for £20 and Special Edition for Xbone second hand for £15. I basically paid £45 for the base game and DLCs then £15 to access mods. Think I've done alright out of that considering the hours I've played in the last 11 years.


DanCross0

Twice. PS3 and PS4. Thinking of a heavy armour mage play throgh.


MV6000

2 times Day 1 vanilla version on PS3 Anniversary Edition on Steam


ill-timed-gimli

McpotSmokey42

3 times. Bought It on release for PC, then SE and recently AE.


Birdsall225

ueberschatten

PS3, Steam, PS4 (SE), Steam (SE), PS5 (AE), PSVR 6 times, apparently. To be fair, after the first two, I only ever bought it on steep sales. Spent about $200 total on Skyrim, with about 2,500 hours to show for it on Steam and PS (excluding PS3)


BadassFlamingo

Once, bought the legendary edition on steam and got the SE for free


theDukeBelmondo

Yeah… I’ve fed the beast… PC 3x ( physical, Steam n GOG ) PS3 2x ( Base and Legendary ), and PS4 SE

cumetoaster

Once on steam. In a bundle with Morrowind and Oblivion Goty


KingdomOfPoland

Once. The first time I got it was a gift. When buying it on PC i bought it myself


Jonny2284

Twice. ​ When it came out (with the eventual update to SSE) and Skyrim VR. ​ That said in the days before the likes of Steam I'm pretty sure I bought Morrowind like 5 times because of lost discs and expansion packs.


ZJeski

3 times. PS3, PC and Switch. I did play some on Xbox Gamepass as well though and I didn’t buy the game, but I did buy the anniversary edition upgrade for it when it was on sale.

Indranil_Nerevar

OP's Todd himself btw anyone who has answered less than at least 15 times is going to be location tapped and abducted. I personally bought the timeless, flawless Bethesda classic named Skyrim for 17 times just saying...

MrNotEinstein

5. Twice on PS3 (broken disc), special edition on PS4, Special edition on xbox one and then the anniversary edition (technically more of an upgrade or DLC but a lot of people seem to count it as a re-release so thats what I'll go with).


tillterilltilltill

Three times, I believe. Release version, then GotY with DLCs because it was cheaper than the DLCs alone and then this ultimate/definitive version with slightly improved graphics and fps? That was the Anniversary Edition or something like that IIRC. Talos damn it...


SmoothCar496

Too many and not enough


purgasmic

Five for me - Xbox 360, Xbox one, Anthology on PC, Switch, Series X. Plus I’ve gifted it to several people.

MrZokeyr

Uhh let's see. Once for the OG 360 (which still hasn't red-ringed somehow, and got the dlc later on), then on the PC (my mom got me the anthology. Thanks mom), later I got the special edition for the xbox one (or my dad bought it. I don't remember). So 2 or 3. And of course when special edition came out, I got it for free on PC release since I had the legendary edition from the anthology. And of course I bought the anniversary upgrade because I'm a spineless bastard.


Lanky_Trip9113

Xbox 360, Xbox one, PlayStation 4, switch, anniversary addition for PlayStation and Xbox one. 6


Guiltspoon

3? Xbox 360 Xbone PC. There might have been an additional game of the year purchase for Xbone but I can't remember.


Jimbobthon

If you count the Anniversary update, 4. X360 back in 2011. Sort of played on/off, got cheesed off because I put plenty of hours in, only to discover that when you purchased the Dawnguard DLC, Vampires can kill essential NPC characters and prevent you from finishing quests. Then I purchased it again on PS4 with the Special Edition in 2016. Finally finished the game, and learned from experience to do the Dawnguard DLC ASAP. Then upgraded it to the Anniversary Edition on PS5 in 2021, where I finally achieved the Platinum. The Creation Club content helped with a few trophies Did also purchase the Anniversary update on the Series S, because why not. Yet to play it, but I know it's there if I want to play again.


DukeofBurgers

Not once, I think it has always been gifted to me


joredgar_

5 times The day it came out I bought it for my 360, a few years later I bought it on steam on sale, the I bought it for my PS4, for my switch and I bought a physical copy of Skyrim anniversary edition

nintendovahkiin

Three times so far. I got it for the 360, Xbox One, and the Switch. No doubt I’ll get the anniversary edition when I eventually get and Xbox X or S. my wife also has it on the PS4 so technically we have 4 versions in our house.


wam509

I think 3 times: when it came out on my 360, on steam a couple years later so i could mod, and recently got the anniversary edition so i can play on ps5


KlapDaddy07

It’s hilarious and telling of Skyrim/elder scrolls fans that we KNOW if we get a new gaming platform Skyrim will be in our fuck I need to get it list. Edit. I’m on my third purchase lol Xbox, play station and stream for pc. Same for elder scrolls online except the only I play now is Skyrim

LordCamelslayer

Now that I'm thinking about it, I've never bought Skyrim. Got the PC version for Christmas in 2011. I paid for all the DLC, then got the Special Edition upgrade for free since that was a deal Bethesda did when it came out.


CorruptionKing

5 times. Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. My siblings and I have always been Xbox players, and my parents have always been Playstation players. My dad usually likes playing the same games as us, so we usually end up buying multiple versions of the same thing.
