Troubleshooting

How to fix Skyrim not working

Skyrim is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach elderscrolls.bethesda.net over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Check Bethesda.net and your platform's status
Open status.bethesda.net, then check Steam, PlayStation Network or Xbox status if you play there. Online features return on their own once an outage is fixed.
Start without mods
Disable your mods and launch the game. If it starts, turn mods back on in small groups to find the one that broke after the latest update.
Verify the game files on PC
In Steam, right-click Skyrim, open Properties, then Installed Files and choose Verify integrity of game files. This replaces damaged files that can cause crashes at launch.
Sign in to Bethesda.net again
If Creations or Anniversary Edition content is missing, sign out of Bethesda.net from the main menu and sign back in to reload the content you own.

While Skyrim is down: what to use instead

Official status page Check it first for posted sign-in or mod problems.
Help centre Use it if you need account recovery while the game will not connect.
Offline play Start a local save without signing in when the outage only blocks online features like mod browsing.
Steam offline mode Launch your installed PC copy through Steam in offline mode when the service is unreachable but you can still play alone.

About

What happens when Skyrim goes down

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is Bethesda's open-world fantasy RPG from 2011, still played through the Special and Anniversary Editions on PC and consoles. The game itself runs offline, so outages usually involve the online parts around it: Bethesda.net sign-in, the Creations menu for mods, or your platform's network.

When Bethesda's services have trouble, the Creations menu won't load, mods fail to download and Anniversary Edition content may not show up. On consoles, a PlayStation Network or Xbox network outage can stop the game from launching or saves from syncing. Crashes straight after an update are more often caused by out-of-date mods or the script extender than by a server.

Questions

Skyrim FAQ

Is Skyrim down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether players are reporting problems right now. For Bethesda's own services, check the Bethesda.net status page, and on consoles check PlayStation Network or Xbox status too. The single-player game should still start offline.

Why won't the Skyrim Creations menu load?

The Creations menu needs a working connection to Bethesda.net and an active sign-in. Sign out and back in from the main menu, and check the Bethesda.net status page if it still fails.

Why does Skyrim crash after an update?

Game updates change the executable, which breaks the Skyrim Script Extender and the mods that depend on it until they're updated. Launch without mods to confirm, then wait for new versions of the script extender and your key mods.

Can I play Skyrim without an internet connection?

Yes. Skyrim runs offline on PC and consoles. You only need a connection for Creations, updates and your platform's online features.

How do I contact Bethesda support about Skyrim?

Bethesda's help site lets you search known issues and open a ticket. For problems buying or downloading the game, the store you bought it from, such as Steam, PlayStation or Xbox, is usually quicker.

How we track Skyrim

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Skyrim, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Skyrim, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Skyrim's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
