New Official Skyrim App Available For iOS
Just a mere three months after The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim released to the world, Prima Games is finally putting out an official companion map app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. And it's free! Kind of.
There are a lot of unauthorized Skyrim apps out there. The official one is titled "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Official World Interactive Map" and is published by Random House Digital. The entire world map and 9 capital cities all come with the initial free download. You can zoom on the world map to a stunning 3200 percent.
There are 15 different $.99 map add-ons including things like marriage prospects, shrines, unique items, and unusual gems. Or you can simply buy everything for $9.99. The base map seems to work pretty well even on my small iPhone screen and I imagine the iPad version is even better. If you're still playing Skyrim, give the free download a chance and see if it'll be useful for what you're looking for. The base app clocks in at 102 MB.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
