After releasing the second DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim onto the PC, in the form of Hearthfire, Bethesda has made a new statement concerning the lack of any add-ons for Skyrim on the PlayStation 3 platform, saying that it’s still working hard on this issue.

Skyrim came out back in November of last year and, since this summer, it’s received two different DLC packs, in the form of Dawnguard and Hearthfire, both appearing on the Xbox 360 first and then on the PC.

Sadly, due to technical problems, Bethesda was forced to delay the release of the two expansions on the PlayStation 3 platform.

Now, the studio’s Vice President of PR and Marketing, Pete Hines, has made a new statement, saying that there are no new details about DLC for Skyrim on PS3.

"I don't have any info on Hearthfire, Dawnguard, or DLC in general for PS3. We're still on it. Will share update when I have one,” he admitted on Twitter.

While the studio has managed to make the two expansions work well on the PlayStation 3, there are still some problems occurring in certain cases, so the developer wants to eliminate all of them before releasing the DLC packs.

“The [DLC's] performance isn't good enough in all cases," he explained. "For most folks, it'd be fine. For some, it wouldn't be."

According to Hines, the studio doesn’t want to throw the blame on Sony’s shoulders, saying that: "We've never blamed anyone or anything. It's our problem, and it's on us to solve it."

Ever since its release, Skyrim has experienced lots of issues on the PlayStation 3, as after each save, files would get larger and larger, resulting in intense lag during the game and even frequent crashes or freezes.

Some of these problems were eliminated through many patches, but it seems that there are still lingering issues affecting the DLC.

Thats * bethesda, microsoft threw all that idiot money at you they get from fools paying for xboxlive and you just * on playstation gamers.. Anybody that plays xbox is a fool wasting his money.. I dont need to pay monthly fees to use the playstation network.. PC users dont either and both consoles are superior in all aspects compared to the xbox which actually charges you to use the multiplayer lol its so silly they even sold any... and i never have lag or freeze ups or any problems on my ps3.. i love your games bethesda you guys make art but if you start practicing dirty buisness in the future i will turn my back on your games..

Yea i think thats what really needs to happen nowadays, we need to let them kno that we are the customers and WE CALL THE SHOTS! end of story, they want customers to purchase things then give the people what they want.
