Bethesda a released Skyrim Special Edition patch 1.1 on Steam which includes various performance and optimization improvements. Additionally, the update should address sound quality issues.
As written in our recent review, The Skyrim PC remaster feels underwhelming. The title fails to impress PC players visually and it appears that it suffers from some major technical issues. On top of that, the game’s sound quality on both PC and Xbox One appears to be gimped compared to the original Skyrim from 2011. The downgraded sound quality on PC and Xbox One appears to be caused by the amount of compression used. Bethesda has said that its aware of these issues and promised a fix last week.
That fix was recently released on Steam, and a patch for PS4 and Xbox One appears to be inbound as well. Check out the Skyrim Special Edition patch 1.1.5 release notes below:
