Skyrim Special Edition’s Creation Club’s planned content recently leaked on Steam, in the form of a hidden store page, with thumbnails of many upcoming add-ons. One of those images contained a graphic for “Survival Mode”. This sparked the interest of many in the community, as it represented a potential “hay in the needlestack (yes, I said that on purpose)”. Just today Bethesda decided to release Skyrim’s Survival mode beta to the general public on Steam for free (for the next week), and coming to consoles soon. While an obvious attempt at bettering their PR and tryin to distance themselves from “Paid mods” criticisms, Bethesda’s survival mode was enjoyable, however it’s upcoming $8+ price tag, a variety of similar free mods and affiliation with such a poor system, restrain it from much positive press.
