As initially detailed by VG 24/7, one of the more significant refinements coming in Skyrim: Special Edition’s version 1.3 patch is the improved support for 144hz PC monitors. The patch is only available for PC and PlayStation 4 players at the moment, but Bethesda should be releasing the Xbox One iteration of the update sometime later on the Microsoft platform. However, those interested can find all of the improvements in Skyrim: Special Edition’s latest patch below.

Although there haven’t been reports of Skyrim: Special Edition’s newest improvements wreaking any havoc on PC and PlayStation 4 platforms, one can only hope that downloading the update doesn’t go on to cause any additional problems to the game, much like previous patches have done. For instance, a patch released several months ago for Skyrim: Special Edition led to even more technical issues, including PC and console players experiencing crashes and gameplay freezes.
While Skyrim: Special Edition has certainly been a financial boon for Bethesda, the studio’s Vice President of Marketing and PR, Pete Hines, has recently gone on record to reveal that the developer doesn’t have any plans for releasing an enhanced version of other Elder Scrolls games at the moment. With this being the case, fans will have to enjoy what they have with the updated version of Skyrim, and perhaps put to bed the notion of there ever being an Oblivion: Special Edition any time soon. Hopefully, though, Bethesda will eventually offer up Skyrim: Special Edition as a Nintendo Switch port when the console launches later this year.
Skyrim: Special Edition is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
