Skyrim Hotfix on August 27 Addresses Crashing Issues
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.

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.
