Dawnguard Skyrims Dawnguard Sneaks Out For PCs, PS3 Fans Have To Wait A Bit Longer

Surprise! We were just talking about how there hasn’t been any sign of Dawnguard coming out for the PC or PS3 last week, but it seems that Bethesda was just playing with us for a bit. During tonight’s QuakeCon keynote, Bethesda announced that Skyrim’s first expansion was quietly released onto Steam today. While this is great news for PC gamers, PS3 fans have little to celebrate as of yet.

Bethesda stated on their blog that PS3 owners would have to wait just a bit longer before getting their vampire on:

“We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard’s performance on the PS3. We would like for everyone to have a chance to play Dawnguard, but we aren’t going to release it for PS3 knowing that some people’s experience in Skyrim will be worse.”

Considering the absolutely atrocious time players had with the PS3 edition of Skyrim at launch, I can’t fault Bethesda for being extra careful, but this has to feel like a slap in the face after a very long line of insults.

What say you, reader? Should we celebrate them waiting to make sure the game is playable before releasing, or have fans waited long enough?

    I didn’t mind the original 30 exclusivity period Xbox users had, but this is just too much. I thought we were going to get the DLC, maybe a day or two after the 30 day time period, but this is, as you put it, “A slap in the face”.

      Totally agree.

      Better to have it not come out now, than to have it come out broken. I fought my way though the last 1/4 of Skyrim’s main story when it was almost completely broken on the PS3. Not good times.

        The extra few days wait will NOT mean its more polished, it simply means Bethesda shipped the 1.7 patch (needed for playing Dawnguard) to Sony and it is still being processed by them. Don’t expect a version any less buggy than the PC or Xbox versions.

    Damn right get it perfect and then release the beast!!! I can wait!

  • Magus

    The only reason PS3 has to wait a little bit longer is because the 1.7 patch is still being processed by Sony, It is out of Bethesda’s control at this point but should only take 5-12 days.
