Bethesda Softworks has released the system specifications for the PC version of Skyrim: Special Edition. According to the development studio the Special Edition features a significant overhaul to the game.
Skyrim: Special Edition features mod support for consoles, remastered art and effects, Volumetric Lighting, Dynamic Depth of Field, Screen-space Reflections and new snow and water shaders.
Mod support for the PlayStation 4 version of the game has been controversial because Sony prevented Bethesda from introducing the feature to the game. Earlier this month Bethesda confirmed that the feature would come to the PlayStation 4 version after months of uncertainty.
The game launches on October 28th 2016 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
