Skyrim has sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest-selling games of all time. But how did a single-player RPG released nearly fifteen years ago keep finding new players and selling across multiple generations?
In this video, I break down why Skyrim sold more than 65 million copies and the major factors behind its extraordinary commercial success — from Bethesda’s reputation and the excitement surrounding its original release, to strong reviews, modding, expansions, re-releases and the game’s remarkable long-term appeal.
Skyrim’s success wasn’t built around one huge launch. Special Edition, Nintendo Switch, VR, Anniversary Edition and continued community support all helped keep the game relevant far beyond its original release.
Games That Sold looks at the stories behind gaming’s biggest commercial successes and explores why certain games went on to sell millions — and sometimes tens or hundreds of millions — of copies.
If you enjoy videos breaking down why some of gaming’s biggest games became so successful, I’d really appreciate you subscribing for more.
