Skyrim VR coming to PC in April
Explore Skyrim with an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift on April 3.
This isn't really a big surprise, considering Bethesda released Doom VFR and Fallout VR last year, plus Skyrim for PSVR, but now it's official: Skyrim VR is coming to PC. The announcement trailer above shows axe-swinging, arrow-slinging, spell-casting, and fus-roh-dah-ing in virtual reality.
The Steam store page shows support for both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift headsets, and as with Fallout VR, this is the complete game of Skyrim coming to VR. It's currently available on Steam for pre-order, priced at $60, which includes the add-on DLC: Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
