12 years on, Skyrim is still being updated - ReadWrite
This week, as well as releasing a large patch for Starfield, Bethesda unexpectedly dropped a new update for Skyrim Special Edition. The Special Edition was released in 2016, five years after the game first came out, and is the 'definitive' edition, with all the DLCs included.
This new update focuses on ironing out issues that arose from the last update in December which added Steam Deck support and combined the Mods and Creations Club menus into a unified Creations Menu. There are a lot of bug fixes and a change to some controller functionality.
As well as the general bug fixes, there are some platform-specific changes and fixes. Epic Store users will now be able to see their Creation Credits properly; some PlayStation-specific issues such as menu flickering and crashes are fixed, Xbox users can now properly download certain Creations that were causing crashes, and even GOG users weren't forgotten, with fixes to the Anniversary Upgrade being fixed.
Since the game's release it has rarely dropped below 25,000 concurrent players, and that's just on Steam. It is undoubtedly one of the most successful and beloved games of all time, and Bethesda's dedication to it even after all this time is undoubtedly part of that.
