Skyrim Special Edition 1.1 Update for consoles includes the following fixes:

  • General performance and optimization improvements

  • Fixed rare issue with NPCs not appearing in proper locations

  • Fixed an issue with interface elements not appearing correctly on certain displays (Xbox One and PS4)

  • Fixed issue with saves erroneously being marked as Modded, even though no mods are active

  • Updated some sound files to not use compression

Console users took to reddit to alert other players about their issues with the update. One redditor wrote :

“Since this update downloaded and installed today I've had a lot of trouble with my game freezing and then force closing on PS4, has anyone else experienced the same? I'd probably put in about 30-40 hours prior to the update with the only issue I've encountered being the Dragon's Breath Mead not showing up. Also, I'm playing vanilla so there can't be any mods clashing with the update.”

Even Xbox One players are experiencing crashes in the game. Some console players report the game crashes at 10-15 minutes of play time. Bethesda addressed frustrated players on the game’s official forum, stating they are looking into the issues.
