The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Patch Next Week

1Up is reporting that Bethesda Softworks plans to release the first official patch for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion sometime next week.

The company confirmed to 1UP that an official patch is in the final stages of development and certification, and should be available for both PC and Xbox 360 users sometime next week.

But what if you don’t have access to Xbox Live? The company’s looking into a number of options, including bundling the patch onto a disc with the Official Xbox Magazine. “We’ll make it available via whatever means are out there for any game to get updates to people playing the game,” said public relations head Pete Hines.

Good news.
