A Surprising Success in Sales!

In a stunning twist, Oblivion Remastered has shot to the ranks of third-best-selling game of 2025 in the US, raking in impressive dollar sales just one week post-launch!

Breaking Records with Minimal Marketing

Research from Circana's Mat Piscatella reveals that this remaster of a nearly two-decade-old classic not only claimed the top spot as the best-selling game for the week ending April 26 but also managed to do so with virtually no marketing push. The game was dropped with a mere whisper, following only a trickle of leaks in the weeks before its premiere.

Game Pass Impact?

Despite being released on Xbox Game Pass for both consoles and PC—allowing subscribers to enjoy it at no extra cost—Piscatella confirmed that these players weren’t included in the sales figures. This makes Oblivion Remastered's sales even more astounding!

A PlayStation Hit Too!

The game isn’t just a hit on Xbox; it's also making waves on PlayStation 5. In fact, it, along with two other Microsoft-published titles, has dominated the top three spots for most downloaded PSN games in April across North America and Europe.

Over 4 Million Players in Just Days!

Just days after launch, Bethesda Game Studios announced that Oblivion Remastered had already captivated over 4 million players across all platforms. While this powerhouse release initially seemed to eclipse smaller titles launching nearby, the publisher of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stated that their sales remained unaffected, celebrating their own success of over one million copies sold.

Balancing Old and New

GameSpot praised the remaster, noting that it treads the fine line between nostalgia and innovation, revitalizing the classic open-world RPG for contemporary players while preserving the quirks and charms that original fans adore.

What’s Next for Oblivion Remastered?

With its remarkable reception and sales, fans are left wondering what surprises Bethesda has in store next. Can this remaster maintain its momentum in a flood of new game releases? Only time will tell!
