Five years after it’s release, on New Year’s Eve, 47,000 actual human beings were playing Skyrim. On December 31, 2015, 47,000 people were playing. Since July 2012 the average player numbers on Steam have not dipped below 20,00, except during September 2012. That’s the original Skyrim, not the re-release. At the time of writing, there are 28,082 players live, in Skyrim on Steam. Skyrim is one of the most played and most modded games on PC of all time.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition is out today and for the first time, console players will be able to do what PC players have been for the past five years play Skyrim mods.
