Version 1.6.640 was released on 20 September 2022 and was 25.9MB in size. The update also fixes several bugs and issues and makes various performance improvements to the game, as well as modifies quests associated with Creation Club content to no longer start after leaving Helgen. This update introduces the Anniversary version of the game, adding four Creation Club creations to the base game, while granting access to all Creation Club content (a total of 74 creations) if the user purchases either the Anniversary Edition, or the Anniversary Edition upgrade. As such, it may be necessary to start a new game file to have all issues resolved. In some cases after a patch has been installed, players have noted that their previous save files have become unplayable, glitchy, and/or have other issues. Please note that having a designated patch installed will not guarantee that the issue it was supposed to fix will be fixed upon entering game. Extra details on specific platforms can be found on the related pages: PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
