In an unprecedented turn of events, Bethesda's classic remake, ‘The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered,’ has taken the gaming world by storm, smashing the astonishing milestone of 4 million players in just one week! This phenomenon spans across PC, consoles, and Xbox Game Pass.

To celebrate this incredible achievement, Bethesda took to social media, sharing their gratitude with fans. They posted, “We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!” Accompanied by an iconic image of the Hero of Kvatch, the message struck a nostalgic chord with players.

However, it’s important to note that this impressive figure doesn’t reflect full-price sales directly. The game launched as a day-one title on Game Pass, Xbox's subscription service. Nevertheless, platforms like Steam reveal that Oblivion Remastered's sales performance is also noteworthy.

Steam reports a staggering peak of 216,784 players in just 24 hours, placing it sixth on the Most-Played Games list. The game stands proud as the top single-player title, even surpassing the much-acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3, which recently unveiled its final major update.

But that’s not all! 'Oblivion Remastered' is also reigning supreme on Steam’s Global Top Selling Games list, securing the second spot right below the free-to-play giant Counter-Strike 2, leaving behind notable titles like Sandfall Interactive’s ‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.’

With such staggering numbers, it’s clear that the beloved 2006 RPG holds a special place in the hearts of gamers. Bethesda’s brilliant mix of nostalgia and innovation has drawn players back to Cyrodiil, eager to relive epic adventures in a vibrant new light. ‘The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered’ hit digital shelves on April 22, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass.
