Remastered art and effects Volumetric god rays Dynamic depth of field Screen space reflections Mods for consoles
Many of these additions will provide a new experience for console users, but the PC players have not been left behind. The updated graphics will provide a similar experience to a fully modded version of the game today, but the upgrade will provide a more optimized experience. Bethesda is aware of the similarities between the current mod heavy PC Skyrim and the newly remastered version, and are providing a free copy of the new Special Edition to owners of the original game on PC. The free copy applies to owners of the original game and all 3 DLCs, as well as owners of the Legendary Edition on PC.
