Bethesda 'Close' On PS3 Skyrim Content

After launching almost a year ago, Bethesda still hasn't released the first expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PlayStation 3. It appears the streak is coming to an end soon.

The official Twitter account for Bethesda Game Studios said, "We’re also close on new Skyrim content for PS3 and PC." Two expansion add-ons have already released on Xbox 360 and PC, Dawnguard and Hearthfire. Game Informer followed up with Bethesda for additional info and were told the Tweet is the company's only comment at this time.

Bethesda said in August it was still developing the content for PlayStation 3, but at the time no one was sure if it was going to happen due to technical issues. "This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content," the publisher said.

The third expansion, Dragonborn, releases first on Xbox 360 on December 4.

  • Finally! I was waiting for this, now the ps3 playerbase can stop complaining.
  • I wonder how long it's going to take for the Dragonborn DLC to get on PS3 after they finally figure out what's going on. The problem is that I have a new set of games from this season and won't pop in Skyrim for another few months if I decide to get the content.
  • I feel like I've just moved on from Skyrim at this point. If they can't deliver the content on PS3, then they won't be getting my money or my time; there are plenty of other great games out now instead, not to mention the fact that at least one of them (Borderlands 2) is getting some swiftly-released DLC that is pretty high-quality, at least thus far.
  • Assuming they're able to get it working, I wonder if they're going to discount the price as a gesture of goodwill.
  • Well that took long enough. SMH BETHESDA
  • Maybe now people won't hate on Bethesda. They make great games and recently, they have not got the credit that they deserve. And before you point it out, yes, I am a BGS fanboy. :)

    EDIT: AND JUST TO LET YOU PS3 GUYS KNOW, Dawnguard isn't all that great.
  • For the sake of all the owners of the PS3 version, I'm happy that Bethesda never gave up on fixing the problem. I'm betting that they also may reward them for their patience.
  • if this is true then i will be dusting off my copy of Skyrim soon(ish)

  • Finally thank you bethesda

  • I already spent my Skyrim PS3 DLC money on other stuff. I'll save up for Dragonborn though.
  • Well I hope it works out. I would like to play their games without being constantly hounded by various technical failings. I certainly loved what was there in basic Skyrim when it worked. I'd like a discount, considering that the first expansion was delayed half a year to create functionality, but I'm not holding my breath on that.
  • I doubt they'll be discounting it considering that they actually had to put in more work. But it isn't even that great anyway.

  • Thank God. PS3 players can finally stop b*tching lol
  • One thing to note is that they said it would be for PS3 and PC. I believe we are getting new dlc that is not Dawnguard or hearthfire. Because PC already has those two. Unless they are releasing those for PS3 and releasing some new stuff for PC. Either way. I will be picking this up during Christmas.
  • Well I have given up on Skyrim for the PS3 so I downloaded it on PC and have been using my PS3 controller. Skyrim is the last Bethesda game that I will buy on PS3 which is a bit sad since I have spent so many hours on the Elder Scrolls/Fallout games. Over 300 hours on Skyrim alone. But I will admit that PC does run the game much better and the mods make it so much more fun.

  • The fact that Bethesda has finally said something, some form of update makes me extremely more happy. Thats all that I was asking for Bethesda (even if it was to be negative).
  • It is harder to develop for the PS3, but dang Bethesda can't do anything right with the system. It's almost like multi-platform games are developed for the XBOX first and then get ported as best they can to the PS3.

  • Mod
    Well...better late then never.
  • Makes no difference when you have a broken pile of **** for the base game.
  • Respect restored. =D Gonna buy the Dragonbor expansion when it comes to Steam.
