Owners of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PS3 shouldn’t give up hope on the DLC.
While expansions Dawnguard and Hearthfire are already out on Xbox 360 and PC (with the latter releasing once Microsoft’s Xbox exclusivity window passed), the PS3 versions has yet to receive the add-ons.
The most recently released DLC Dragonborn, however, is scheduled for a PS3 release next year. But that doesn’t mean Bethesda has given up on the rest.
We’re hard at work to make this content available early next year on PS3 and PC,” the studio wrote on its blog. On PS3 in particular, we turned our attention to Dragonborn, as we thought it was the best content to release first, and we didn’t want folks to wait longer.
Once it’s ready to go for everyone, we’ll continue our previous work on Hearthfire and Dawnguard for PS3. Each one takes a lot of time and attention to work well in all circumstances and all combinations of DLC. Once we have a better idea of release timing and pricing, we’ll let you know.”
The PS3 version of Skyrim has been beset by problems, chief of which was a memory issue that resulted in the game progressively slowing as the user’s save file grew. In some cases this rendered the game almost unplayable.
