In one of the least confident statements about a small feature ever, Bethesda’s Pete Hines indicates that Skyrim Special Edition on PC ‘should’ transfer saves over.
Gamers love Skyrim. Nearly six years after the original game’s release, Bethesda’s Skyrim Special Edition trailer still managed to incite excited fan discussion worldwide after the publisher finally confirmed weeks of speculation regarding a remaster of the title. The Viking-inspired fantasy RPG has withstood the test of time in a way few games ever have, as the Skyrim player and modding communities are still thriving even after more recent releases from Bethesda in the same genre.
It’s precisely because of that intense player dedication that fans of Skyrim have been very curious about the inclusion of one small feature in Skyrim Special Edition - the ability to transfer save files from the original game to the remastered version. Gamers mostly got an answer today from Bethesda vice-president Pete Hines, who tweeted that saves “should” be compatible for those who upgrade from the original title to the Skyrim Special Edition.
