14 DAY TRIAL // Bethesda has just deployed a brand new update for Skyrim, in the form of the beta version for the 1.4.26 patch, on the PC platform, via Steam.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a great game that’s being thoroughly supported by its community with user-generated mods. Sadly, it still has quite a few problems, so Bethesda decided to use the Steam digital distribution service on the PC to release beta versions of its updates, thus fixing problems in a timelier manner for players affected by certain issues.
This has already been done for the Skyrim 1.4 patch earlier this year and now the studio has deployed a new beta update, which takes the game to version 1.4.26.
This patch fixes quite a few issues, including some that related to the Steam Workshop and the delivery of its mods, but also eliminates plenty of other bugs that happened in the game.
Check out the features of the new Skyrim beta update below.
