Skyrim Grandma, 88, Is Retiring From Making Gameplay Videos

Shirley Curry aka Skyrim Grandma Announces Retirement from YouTube

At 88 years old, Shirley Curry, better known as Skyrim Grandma, has become a prominent figure in the world of video game streaming. With 1.29 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, Curry has spent the past nine years creating content around the popular game Skyrim. However, in a recent video, she revealed that she will be stepping away from making game videos.

In her announcement video, Curry expressed that the enjoyment she once found in creating game videos has diminished, leading her to the decision to retire from that aspect of her YouTube channel. While she will no longer be focusing on Skyrim content, Curry mentioned that she plans to continue making videos about other interests, such as novels, quilting, and potentially writing a book.

Despite the decision to move away from Skyrim videos, Curry’s impact on the gaming community has been significant. Her dedication to the game even caught the attention of Bethesda, the company behind Skyrim, who hinted at the possibility of featuring Curry as a non-playable character in The Elder Scrolls VI. This recognition from the game developers solidifies Curry’s legacy in the gaming world.
