Bethesda runs this one every year, and every year it lands at the right time. The Elder Scrolls franchise sale is live on Steam right now, slashing prices across the series by up to 75%, with a six-game bundle that puts the entire collection within reach for $65.
For anyone who has been sitting on the fence about picking up The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or finally trying the older entries, this is the window. The sale runs until June 4, so there are a few days left to act.
What the discounts actually look like
Here's the full breakdown of individual game prices during the sale:
The steepest cut goes to The Elder Scrolls Online, down 75% to just $4.99. That's a hard price to argue with for an MMORPG with years of content. Skyrim Anniversary Edition at $16.49 is similarly difficult to pass up, especially given how much content that version packs in.
The first two games in the series, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall, are free to play and not part of the paid bundle.
The bundle vs. buying individual games
If you want everything in one shot, the Elder Scrolls Franchise Bundle packages six games together for $65. That covers Morrowind, Oblivion Remastered, Skyrim Anniversary Edition, Redguard, Battlespire, and ESO. For players who are new to the series entirely, it removes the decision fatigue of picking a starting point.
The bundle makes more sense for players who want the full historical arc, from the dungeon-crawling origins of Morrowind through to the live-service world of ESO. For players who already own Skyrim (and let's be honest, most do), picking individual titles is the smarter move.
Game soundtracks are also included in the sale at 50% off, which is worth noting for anyone who has spent hours listening to Jeremy Soule's compositions outside the game.
A franchise that started in 1994 and still has no ending in sight
The Elder Scrolls series traces back to 1994 with The Elder Scrolls: Arena, a game that drew heavily from tabletop RPG design, sending players across cities and dungeons to fight through arenas and prove themselves against increasingly dangerous creatures. That foundation, methodical world-building, political depth, and a commitment to lore, grew into one of the most influential RPG games franchises in the medium.
With The Elder Scrolls 6 still years away from release, this sale is a good reminder of how much the existing catalog holds up. Oblivion Remastered launched earlier this year and has already pulled a significant number of players back into Cyrodiil. Morrowind, despite being over two decades old, still has an active modding community that keeps it alive on modern hardware.
The sale deadline is June 4. If you want to dig into the back catalog or finally start on Skyrim properly, our strategy guides for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are a solid companion once you're in.
