Bethesda has announced that the Skyrim 1.9 Legendary update that’s available today on Steam as a beta version, will be available on consoles later in the month, offering up a bunch of Legendary features and bug fixes.
Said Legendary features include a new Legendary difficulty and Legendary skills, which in essence removes the overall level cap.
“For console players out there, we’re hoping to release 1.9 later this month — we’ll keep you updated when we have specific dates,” a post on the BethBlog claims.
Here’s a list of the features and fixes the Skyrim 1.9 Legendary update will bring:
