<p><strong>[UPDATE] </strong>Regarding the Xbox One product page&#8217;s mention of in-app purchases, Bethesda&#8217;s Pete Hines tells GameSpot it &#8220;shouldn&#8217;t be there&#8221; and was likely a mistake. The game already comes with all Skyrim DLC, &#8220;so there are no in-game purchases,&#8221; he said. About the 100 MB file size, Hines said this might be &#8220;just a temporary file.&#8221;</p>
<p><em><strong>The original story is below.</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/S0Mztd">The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</a>&#8216;s remastered version, called the Special Edition, is now available to preorder on <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PlayStation 4</a>. Microsoft&#8217;s Larry &#8220;Major Nelson&#8221; Hryb <a href="http://ift.tt/2aWjKEu" rel="nofollow">made the announcement today</a> on his blog about the Xbox One version, while the<a href="http://ift.tt/2a9lgRQ" rel="nofollow"> PS4 page</a> went up with less fanfare.</p>
<p>Hryb&#8217;s post also mentions that &#8220;you may pre-download this game,&#8221; but it appears you&#8217;re not pre-loading the full thing, as <a href="http://ift.tt/2aONZvw" rel="nofollow">the file size is listed as 106.15 MB</a>. GameSpot has followed up with Microsoft and Bethesda in an attempt to get more information about pre-loading for the Special Edition.</p>
<p>Whatever the case, the Skyrim remaster will not be playable until 12:01 AM ET on October 28.</p>
<p>It also appears a change has been made to Xbox.com product pages, as <a href="http://ift.tt/2aWjO7d" rel="nofollow">clicking on the Xbox.com listing</a> for the Skyrim remaster <a href="http://ift.tt/2aONZvw" rel="nofollow">brings you to a page for the game at Microsoft.com</a>. This page mentions that there are in-app purchases available for the game, but that seems somewhat odd, given that the Skyrim remaster contains all previously released DLC.</p>
<p>We have followed up with Bethesda about this as well.</p>

<p>The Skyrim Special Edition is not yet available to preorder digitally for <a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN">PC</a>. PC players can <a href="http://ift.tt/1Xi05OK">get the game for free if they own Skyrim and all of its DLC already</a>.</p>
<p>Bethesda <a href="http://ift.tt/1Xi05OK">announced the Skyrim remaster</a> during its<a href="http://ift.tt/1UKASZQ"> E3 2016 briefing</a>. It sports a number of new visual effects, including god-rays, new snow shaders, and more. Check out the video above to see a graphics comparison that shows off how much better the Special Edition looks.</p>
<p>The Skyrim remaster<a href="http://ift.tt/2aoqXLQ"> also includes support for PC mods, just like Fallout 4</a>.</p>
<p>For more, check out <a href="http://ift.tt/2aoqXLQ">GameSpot&#8217;s interview with Bethesda&#8217;s Pete Hines about why the developer is remastering Skyrim and not Oblivion</a>.</p>
