The update is already on Steam, but the Steam specific patch notes are not there yet. Judging from the above, this update is geared towards the implementation of the new "creations system". Hopefully the update for Steam will include fixes for the issues introduced by the last update.

This may be confusing for a while because Bethesda released Skyrim 1.6.659 on GOG and this is not the same executable as Skyrim 1.6.659 on Steam. The downside is that some folks may mistakenly install the 1.6.659 version of the plugins on the GOG version of the game and SKSE, Bug Fixes, etc. may detect this as the Steam version of the game and likely CTD without a compatibility warning.

But I believe this is being addressed somehow with a bit of a delay, no?

And I thought the SSE updates were 1.6.1130 --> 1.6.1170 (?)

They are. I think I read that even the GOG version is now 1.6.1170.

Edit: Yups, found this on Reddit:

Curiosity got the best of me. I made a backup of the Skyrim GOG install folder, did the update, and the EXE shows 1170 for the version. So looks like they should line up in terms of SKSE compatibility. GOG still has the 659 offline installers available of course which makes it easy to switch back for anyone else who wants to give it a try temporarily.

BTW, still no sign of patch notes specifically for the Steam version, so I guess no fixes for the issues they introduced in 1.6.1130. I am shocked.
