You play as the Dragonborn, a prophesied hero with the power of the Voice. As dragons return to Tamriel, their threat puts the Empire’s future in the balance.
Explore Skyrim in first-person VR, travel through its mountains and settlements, take on quests, and battle enemies using melee weapons, archery, and magic. You can also sneak, craft, and choose how to approach the world.
Character customization lets you shape your hero, while mod support offers ways to adjust the experience. The VR edition includes Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.
In these supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise the feeling of traveling through Skyrim in VR, with its landscapes, dungeons, quests, and dragon encounters feeling more immediate. Archery and casting magic through physical movement also stand out. Much of the enthusiasm is tied to mods that add interaction or improve the VR experience; some players enjoy the game without them, while others describe the unmodified version as frustrating or limited.
