The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is set to receive its second major update, which brings much-needed improvements to PS5. Unfortunately, however, as was the case with the previous update, we’ll have to wait a while before the patch releases on PS5. But the good news is, we’re getting new difficulty options along with fixes.
Patch notes for next big Oblivion PS5 update previewed
Bethesda has offered a preview of update 1.2 on Steam, where it’s out in beta. While the patch “won’t roll out to all other platforms just yet” and we don’t have a release date, check out an overview below:
SETTINGS CHANGES
We’ve added additional difficulty settings to allow players to further tune their “Player Combat Damage” & “Enemy Combat Damage”. Players can now select from “Novice”, “Apprentice”, “Adept”, “Journeyman”, “Expert”, and “Master” options in the Gameplay menu. We hope the “Journeyman” setting, specifically, will act as a better bridge between “Adept” and “Expert” for players.
