This year, Bethesda's worst-kept secret was Oblivion Remastered — a newly released remake of the classic 2006 open-world fantasy RPG The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion we first heard whispers about two years ago in 2023. Still, while those that follow gaming news closely knew the title was coming at some point, that didn't stop the studio and its partners at Virtuos Games from surprising everyone with an exciting shadow drop of the remaster earlier this week.
Thus far, the success of Oblivion Remastered has been more explosive than a Master-level Immolating Blast, with the game surging to the top of the Steam Top Sellers chart and averaging well over 100,000 Steam players at any given moment on weekdays. It's also on Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox PC app, and PS5, with folks on the former two platforms making their way to Cyrodiil through Xbox Game Pass as well. And notably, some of those players have found a way to jump in with Virtual Reality (VR).
