Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has now shipped in excess of 10 million units worldwide across Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, the publisher has announced. Sales haven’t been reported by Bethesda, but the undisclosed figure represents $650 million in retail sales since November 11.
“We are gratified that Skyrim continues to garner high review scores and accolades around the world,” said Robert Altman, chairman and CEO of ZeniMax Media. “We are most grateful to our fans for their support and enthusiasm for the game, and their love of the hundreds of hours of gameplay it offers. We continue to strive to deliver the highest quality entertainment experience for everyone. 2012 will be another huge year for our fans, with the release of the Creation Kit, as well as exciting DLC which will add to the richness of this epic adventure.”
The PC version of Skyrim outsold all other PC games by a factor of over three to one during November.
“Skyrim is the fastest selling title in Steam’s history” said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve Corporation. “Bethesda’s commitment to and understanding of the PC as a gaming platform shows in the great review scores, spectacular launch, and continued high player numbers that Skyrim has received. We are delighted that Bethesda chose to use Steamworks to support Skyrim both at retail and digitally.”
While we didn’t award the game full marks, it earned a very respectable 9/10 in our Skyrim review.
