skyrim update 1.001.012

Following the patch released by Bethesda for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim last week that increased the mod storage limits, the studio has today released a hotfix resolving some technical issues on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Players will see Skyrim update 1.001.012 available for download now, and it’s a small file to install.

Read on for the tech fixes applied today.

Skyrim Hotfix on August 27 Addresses Crashing Issues

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Update 1.001.002

Crashes

  • Fixed a crash when opening the on-screen keyboard and submitting text on the game main menu on PlayStation.
  • Fixed a crash when opening the map multiple times on Xbox.

Bug Fixes

  • Installing the game in certain regions no longer shows the 14 out of 15 GB Creations storage space is used on PlayStation.

That’s about it for this patch; it is a hotfix after all.

Aside from fixes, we’re not expecting any major updates for the game moving forward, but we’d love to be wrong.

Speaking of RPGs, CD Projekt RED has announced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered free upgrade set to be rolled out in September. Not only that, but the devs also pushed out a game update this week that made the base game into the Complete Edition, which means the game’s two major expansions (Blood and Wine, Heart of Stone) are free to own and play right now for everyone who owns the game.
