Skyrim is one of the most important video games of 'recent' times, one that has marked a before and after thanks to its immense open world, fantastic places and magical creatures.
However, one thing is for sure -- it does look dated now, even in the Special Edition released in 2016. With graphics capabilities advancing at lightning pace, this makes it difficult for the game to attract new players.
However, the range of third-party mods and improvements developed over the years helps the title continue to appeal, coupled with its immense replayability.
With more than 500 mods in total, including the addition of ray tracing, 4K support and other enhancements, now Skyrim looks like it really could be a next-gen title -- deserving of the significant recognition it gets.
As you can see from the video above, the quality is quite impressive. From the reflections, the detail in the foliage, the colors, and how lively the environment itself seems, Skyrim feels like a brand new video game.
Of course, being able to run all these mods to upscale Skyrim naturally requires one hefty machine -- Digital Dreams use a rig with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 GPU, 32GB RAM, and a 4.5Ghz AMD Ryzen 9 3900x CPU.
The continuation of Genshin Impact's 2.0 update arrives this week, and is an opportunity to discover new characters Yoimiya and Sayu and their special events.
