Excitement Surrounds Oblivion Remastered After Long Anticipation Following Initial Announcements in 2023
However, whether this excitement will translate into tangible sales remains to be seen, especially since this version is sold at a price that is not particularly friendly, reaching up to 850,000 VND or even higher if players want to enjoy additional downloadable content.
While Oblivion Remastered is Rated as a Major Upgrade, It Remains an Enhanced Version of a Nearly 20-Year-Old RPG That Has Been ‘Unplugged’ Numerous Times
As of now, the answer to the success of this title is rather clear. Currently, over 120,000 players are actively participating in Oblivion Remastered solely on Steam, placing it at the 9th position on the list of the most-played games on this platform – surpassing even Baldur’s Gate 3, a new landmark in the RPG genre. Moreover, this number continues to show signs of steady growth.
Despite the high price, Oblivion Remastered quickly climbed the sales charts on Steam on its release day. Notably, this game also broke the record for the highest concurrent player count, previously held by Skyrim Special Edition – the “latest” Elder Scrolls version before this – which peaked at 69,906 concurrent players on Steam in 2016, according to data from SteamDB. The draw of Oblivion Remastered attracts a large number of players not just from the established Elder Scrolls brand but also highlights the emergence of a new generation of RPG enthusiasts who may not have even experienced the original Oblivion when it first launched in 2006. This remake offers an opportunity to explore one of the legendary RPG landscapes without being hindered by the dated mechanics or cumbersome systems that have plagued older titles.
Oblivion Remastered is clearly demonstrating its allure and potential to become one of the standout hits of 2025.
