A Skyrim multiplayer mod is coming very soon

It won’t be long before you’re able to explore the snow-capped mountains of Skyrim together with your friends. Yes, Skyrim Together, a mod that’s been in development for the last couple years and adds multiplayer to Bethesda’s seven-year-old RPG, is about to go into beta testing. When it launches, Skyrim Together will let you and several friends play the game start to finish with up to eight players. It’s a compelling idea - as enjoyable as it’s always been to head off into the vast gameworld on your own, the notion of exploring Dwemer ruins and frozen holds together with a band of friends puts a fresh Dungeons & Dragons spin on the game. It hasn’t been an easy mod to develop, as you might imagine. The modders have had to add a lot of features to a game built around a single-player experience - for instance, what happens when several players complete a dungeon together, or defeat a boss? But beyond that, as YouTuber ESO explains, Bethesda shut down development of the mod at one point, telling the team they could continue making the mod, but not using Steam’s API.
