Skyrim 1.9 Beta Update Now on Steam

You have destroyed every dragon in Skyrim by now. You are the true Dragonborn. What is left to do? Move onto something else? Nah. There is so much more to do in Skyrim

Well, Bethesda has announced that their new update is now available in beta for Steam users, according to their blog. 

The new update's main event is the addition of "legendary" features, which include a new difficuilty setting, and skills of 100, which basically removes the previous level cap.

There are also a multitude of bug fixes in the patch, including general memory and stability fixes. You can view the full list of fixes at the link. 

For those who want to opt into the beta, Bethesda encourages them to back up previous saves, or just make sure not to overwrite previously saved data. If you decide to opt out of the beta, old saves should still work. 

This comes a few weeks after the 1.8 update, which was released ahead of the Dragonborn DLC.

There is no specific date available, but Bethesda states that it will be released later this month.
