A beta for the 1.7 patch coming to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can be downloaded today through Steam. The 1.7 patch introduces a number of fixes across all platforms, with specific fixes for the Xbox 360 version of the game.
There is still no release date yet for the Dawnguard expansion for either PC or PS3 owners.
To participate, select the Skyrim Beta from the Steam settings "Beta Participation" section. Be sure to back up your saved games prior to doing this. Stuff might blow up if you don't.
