The Skyrim VR is identical in content as Legendary Edition or Special Edition but focuses on VR (Virtual Reality) gameplay that lets players experience the land of Skyrim as if they were there and from first-person perspective. On PS4 platform the game supports both gamepad which works similar in the TV game version, and two move controllers which emulate player's hands and motions can be used to draw and fire a bow, cast spells, swing a sword or block with a shield, and so on. If played on PS4 Pro instead of on standard PS4, the game will feature higher resolution textures and display further rendering distance in open areas.

Skyrim VR contains full base game and all three story add-ons (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn).
