Hmm, what did I say that was wrong? If so, I'm sorry.

But you can't play this game with Game Pass, can you? And it went on sale on November 11 for $50. Are you assuming that every gamer who buys the Anniversary Edition already owns Skyrim?

Skyrim Anniversary Edition is just DLC for Skyrim Special Edition. The PS5/XSX performance of Skyrim Special Edition is identical to Skyrim Anniversary Edition, so your video in OP applies to both.

Maybe easier way to look at it:

For people who don't own Skyrim: $50 = Skyrim Special Edition + Anniversary Upgrade.

For people who own Skyrim: $20 = Anniversary Upgrade.

For people who own Skyrim: $0 = Skyrim Special Edition next-gen performance update for PS5/XSX.

Owners of Skyrim Special Edition and Gamepass Subscribers get the PS5/XSX upgrades for free, they can pay $20 for the Anniversary Upgrade DLC.

As this thread is about performance the added content of Anniversary isn't relevant. Special Edition and Anniversary Edition perform identical.

Skyrim Special Edition (PS5/XSX) released the same day as Skyrim Anniversary Edition (PS5/XSX) so that is why it confuses people a lot. Anniversary is just some extra quests and items.

Okay, I guess I didn't know the difference in price between Anniversary Edition and Special Edition. Sorry about that.
