While "Cyberpunk 2077" reportedly flopped hard on consoles with mixed reviews of gamers reporting a really buggy and rushed game, it might be time to look for other open-world games while CD Projekt Red tries to fix their game. Good news, however, "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim" Special Edition is currently available on the Xbox Game Pass.

Can you play 'Skyrim' on Xbox series X?

An article by HappyGamer states that it wouldn't normally recommend jumping it into this really classic open-world adventure again. This is true especially with all of the other games that are still waiting for it to be played. The truth of the matter is that "Skyrim" still looks pretty much amazing on the newer Xbox Series X.

On the next generation Xbox Series X console, the game loads in just a mere amount of seconds and there are optional mods that are available with the new Special Edition making quite a huge difference. On either the Xbox Series X or even the Xbox Series S, "Skyrim" will still be able to run at quite a comfortable 60 FPS with really fast loading times.

The smooth loading time is thanks to the whole range of mods that are available along with the new Special Edition. Players will also be able to boost the games' texture quality quite significantly. Although the game is pretty much a little dated, the new mods still really help the game catch up with the modern times. This game is extremely popular for the hardcore gamers and it is quite rare for people not to have even heard about this game through the previous decade.

There are recommended mods for the game and one of them is the True Vision ENB mod which supposedly enhances the visuals. This generally increases the texture quality as well as improves the lighting. This brings "Skyrim" almost exactly up-to-date along with the modern standard of game graphics.

There are still a number of other mods like the hundreds of different new spells out in the game. There are even mods that give the characters a grappling hook. Other mods really much shake up the entire flow of the gameplay making it quite interesting.

There's also 8-hours of content that should really be fun for gamers in the Forgotten City mod. It's also possible to improve the NPC dialogue as well as the AI with two different mods. Some of them even wield new powers of elemental magic.

Everything is reportedly available in the Special Edition even before it hits the Xbox Game Pass. Now, players are free to get everything. In order to get these awesome additions, players will just have to sign in to Microsoft's list. Play the game, go to the Mods Shop and activate the Uncap FPS mod. This allows players to try out the game in 60 FPS, according to an article by PrimaGames.
