The worst-kept secret in gaming is finally real: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered launched April, 202, on PlayStation, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Priced at $4.9, the Unreal Engine overhaul includes 4K resolution, 6 FPS support, and rebuilt textures – but it’s the deluxe horse armor (yes, really) that’s stealing headlines.
Available day one on Xbox Game Pass, the remaster bundles the original game’s expansions (Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles) alongside modernized mechanics like third-person camera controls, sprinting, and revamped UI. PC players can grab it on Steam (where it’s already a top seller), while PS users must purchase it outright via the PlayStation Store.
Bethesda and Virtuos’ collaboration delivers 125GB of upgraded visuals, including dynamic lighting and lip-sync animations tailored to each in-game race. The $6.9 Deluxe Edition adds an artbook, soundtrack, and cosmetic extras, while modding communities hint at future unofficial expansions to rival the still-active Skyblivion project.
Despite its roots, this version targets modern hardware, with Bethesda promising smoother performance and accessibility tweaks. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia or the lava-defying NPCs, Cyrodiil’s gates are open again.
