Skyrim ported to Xbox One as an exercise for Fallout 4

4.4

Bethesda used Skyrim in order to familiarize itself with Xbox One hardware before Fallout 4 development kicked into high gear.

Speaking in the latest issue of Game Informer, Todd Howard told the magazine porting the massive RPG was just “an exercise” which allowed the team to quickly familiarize itself with the console’s hardware.

Howard quickly added fans shouldn’t “get [their] hopes up yet” regarding Skyrim on Xbox One.

Who knows. Maybe the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim will become backwards compatible on Xbox One in the future. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.

-Myth_ Im not really a huge skyrim player.

You're missing out then man . :) I remember playing skyrim way back trying to lvl up and beat my friends and stuff haha. Good times, definitely good times. I wish the Elder Scrolls Online was a bit better, I played it and didn't enjoy it. I thought that game was going to be a lot better then I personally thought.

This is quite a smart tactic, no doubt it made Fallout better optimized!

At least they were getting a feel for what kind of shit they can do for their game.

Earn Skyrim was great fun when I played it on Xbox 360 haven't got a next gen console but it would be great to play once I get one.

Oh yeah, I'd definitely play it on new gen, hopefully the game looks a bit nicer to, I'm sure it will.
