Grandma Skyrim Retires from YouTube, Embraces Oblivion Remastered and Game Immortalization
Shirley Curry, the 87-year-old known to fans as “Grandma Skyrim,” is concluding her YouTube channel after more than a decade of sharing her passion for Bethesda’s Skyrim. In her latest video, she announced her retirement, citing fatigue and a loss of enthusiasm. She had previously indicated a desire to stop, only to reverse her decision and announce plans to play Oblivion Remastered in 2025. Now, a significant shift in her audience appears to be a primary factor in her decision. Curry noted that most current viewers are children who interact as if speaking to their own grandmother, and she no longer felt the need to create content primarily for this demographic. Age is also a contributing factor to her retirement. However, she has pledged to release occasional vlogs for her longest-supporting adult fans. Separately, Bethesda is immortalizing “Grandma Skyrim” in an upcoming game. Her passion for Skyrim caught the attention of Bethesda, leading to an invitation to the studio where she met the development team and Todd Howard.
