Bethesda Game Studios officially releases a new patch for its open world fantasy-RPG,Skyrim: Special Edition, which brings a variety of fixes and more.
It’s been a while sinceSkyrim: Special Editionreceived a patch, but it seems as if the developers at Bethesda are doing due diligence when it comes to keeping the enhanced version of the studio’s popular game up and running after its launch last year. As a matter of fact, the company has provided the open world fantasy-RPG with yet another update for PC and PlayStation 4, which provides general fixes for performance and stability, and addresses several more specific matters affectingSkyrim: Special Editionoverall.
As initiallydetailed byVG 24/7, one of the more significant refinements coming inSkyrim: Special Edition’s version 1.3 patch is the improved support for 144hz PC monitors. The patch is only available for PC and PlayStation 4 players at the moment, but Bethesda should be releasing the Xbox One iteration of the update sometime later on the Microsoft platform. However, those interested can find all of the improvements inSkyrim: Special Edition’s latest patch below.
Although there haven’t been reports ofSkyrim: Special Edition’s newest improvements wreaking any havoc on PC and PlayStation 4 platforms, one can only hope that downloading the update doesn’t go on to cause any additional problems to the game, much like previous patches have done. For instance, a patch released several months ago forSkyrim: Special Editionled to even more technical issues, includingPC and console players experiencing crashesand gameplay freezes.
DespiteSkyrim: Special Edition’s aforementioned problems being addressed, the remastered version of Bethesda’s 2011 fantasy-RPG found a decent amount of success in its release last year, as it was one ofthe best-selling games of 2016 through Amazon, the online retail website. The enhanced version ofSkyrimeven managed to find its way in the top ten list of best-selling titles duringits debut in October of last year.
WhileSkyrim: Special Editionhas certainly been a financial boon for Bethesda, the studio’s Vice President of Marketing and PR, Pete Hines, has recently gone on record to reveal that the developer doesn’t have any plans for releasing an enhanced version of otherElder Scrollsgames at the moment. With this being the case, fans will have to enjoy what they have with the updated version ofSkyrim, and perhaps put to bed the notion of there ever being anOblivion: Special Editionany time soon. Hopefully, though, Bethesda will eventually offer upSkyrim: Special Editionas aNintendo Switch portwhen the console launches later this year.
Skyrim: Special Editionis available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
