Every open-world game that’s come out since has a bit of Skyrim’s DNA in it somewhere. Set in the vast world of Skyrim, the game’s massive world set the groundwork for an entire decade of games. Bethesda’s RPG is an industry running joke for a reason - it really is that important. That said, the addition of Skyrim on Game Pass leaves gamers who have yet to jump in one less excuse. Yet somehow, there are still lone souls out there who have somehow dodged it for a full decade. Every time a new gaming system or service comes out, it’s only a matter of time before Bethesda rolls out a Skyrim edition for it. The 2011 RPG is notoriously available on just about every platform across multiple generations. At this point, recommending Skyrim is something of a meme.
