Skyrim PS3 Patch Out Now

Bethesda has announced that PS3 owners can now download Skyrim's 1.8 patch, one day ahead of the long-awaited release of the game's Dragonborn DLC.

In addition to preparing your game for the new DLC, Update 1.8 also fixes a few bugs, as outlined on Bethesda's blog:

  • General memory and stability improvements
  • Fixed rare crash when using vampiric grip
  • Fixed issue where Arnleif and Sons Trading Company could become permanently locked
  • Fixed issue related to duplicate NPCs
  • Fixed rare issue where exterior door would not open properly

Dragonborn will be available tomorrow, February 12, followed by Hearthfire on February 19, and Dawnguard on February 26. All three DLC packs were released last year on Xbox 360.

  • Hmmm I'm not sure if I should update?
  • I'm glad you PS3 people can finally join the rest of us. It's a shame that it took them this long to get the game playable for you guys.
  • Enjoy.
  • Now PS3 players can share the awesome experience

  • Well...I was going to study for a big exam tomorrow, but this seems like a better use of my time.
  • Well that didn't take too long.

  • Mod
    Let the libations begin! I mean, jubilation. Bah, same thing! Dragonborn, here I come.
  • *sighs, dusting off Skyrim*
  • There goes my 100% Platinum completion.... Back to Skyrim I guess!
  • YES YES YES FINALLY THANK THE LORD YES

  • Still no fix for the crash that happens whenever you enter water? sigh...I thought Betheseda was better than this, sure you can fix it by deleting game data, but it should still be fixed so that it wouldn't happen anyway.
  • Will it be released at 12:00 AM or sometime of their choosing during the day is my question?

  • This is good to know. I was worried the DLC wouldn't come out for the PS3. Still waiting for the GOTY edition, but it's good to know all of the content will be there if it ever comes out.
  • Was this patch already issued to the 360 and PC versions?
  • The wait is finally over.

  • Awesome. I've been having issues with multiple Louis Letreshes outside Whiterun. Hopefully this will fix that.
  • Finally no more uneven framerate when I turn around! lol
  • Why did this take so long? I had Dawnguard last summer.

  • Now maybe the can stop all the CRYING?They finally get the dlc,HALF OFF too and STILL the complain.
  • Bethesda does not care about black consoles
