Skyrim 1.5 Patch Now on STEAM as Beta; Coming Soon on Consoles

As Bethesda continues to make Skyrim better, the beta patch for the 1.5 is now available on STEAM. For consoles, they will have to wait a little more longer before it releases.

Those who are familiar with Kill-Cams, the new and upcoming patch 1.5 should have that feature that makes killing enemies within the game a lot more stylish and pleasure to look at. In addition, the new patch that will be releasing soon will offer a lot of improvements that will even make the experience in playing Skyrim on either the console and PC much better than it was before.
