Patch 1.7 for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now out of beta and will automatically be pushed to all players when they next start up Steam.

The patch fixes several bugs in the game and provides a few stability optimizations. It is being submitted to Microsoft and Sony for certification this week, so expect it to launch on consoles in the next few weeks. The full patch notes are below:
