Switch games are often expensive, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is the first non-anthology, deluxe edition, or DLC bundle to break the $60 barrier. The game now does this regularly on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This is probably because blockbuster production costs almost double every console cycle. However, Switch is five years older than him, skyrim Even older.
Plus, the Anniversary Edition is just $50 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S where the new generation upgrade was free. Also, the $70 price tag is for digital downloads, so it has nothing to do with the cost of the Switch SD card.
