A fan-made expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now playable on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 for the first time. The news came with the version 2.0 update to Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, as Video Games Chronicle reported on 11 November 2026.

A mod, short for modification, is an add-on made by fans rather than by the company that published the game. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma adds Bruma and the surrounding area from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion into Skyrim. Bruma is the northernmost county in Cyrodiil, the region where Oblivion is set. Both games are open-world role-playing games, where players roam a large map and take on quests.

The mod first released in 2017. It is the first part of a planned series that will add more regions from The Elder Scrolls lore, the background world behind the games, to Skyrim. The project is a collaboration between several modding teams, who build large continent expansions for the game, according to Beyond Skyrim's website.

Version 2.0 adds new dungeons, which are the underground and hidden areas players explore, and improves the dungeons that were already in the mod. It also brings new armour, weapons and spells, and the Bruma map has been expanded. Armour is protective clothing worn in combat, while spells are magic that players cast.

PlayStation support is the headline addition in this update. The mod was already available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, so the new release brings it to Sony's consoles for the first time. Players on PS4 and PS5 can now start their own journey through Bruma.

There is one thing to plan for before installing the update. Saves made in earlier versions of the mod do not work in version 2.0. A save is the file that records a player's progress, so anyone who wants to play the new version will need to begin a new one.

For players who have followed the project since 2017, the update is a large step. For newcomers, Bruma now offers a fresh starting point on a console where it was not available before.
