Oblivion has had a strong launch (Bethesda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bethesda<\/a>\u2019s remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion<\/a> has racked up some impressive numbers on Steam<\/a>, surpassing the likes of Marvel Rivals<\/a> and Apex Legends<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was finally released yesterday<\/a>, after countless leaks and rumours, and it appears players are very hungry for some retro Elder Scrolls<\/a> action.<\/p>\n

After it was shadowdropped during Bethesda\u2019s livestream, the remaster soared to the top of Steam\u2019s best-sellers list<\/a> within an hour \u2013 even with a \u00a349.99 price tag.<\/p>\n

The remaster managed to rack up some impressive player numbers too. Within 24 hours, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered hit a concurrent peak player count of 182,298 on Steam, the fourth highest at the time, behind only Counter-Strike<\/a> 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Dota 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the concurrent player count has dropped to just under 80,000, but it\u2019s still the seventh highest on the platform (via SteamDB<\/a>).<\/p>\n

These numbers are notably higher than the all-time peak for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition, which hit 69,906 players. However, it hasn\u2019t yet surpassed Bethesda\u2019s last game, Starfield<\/a>, which hit a peak of 330,723 players when it launched in 2023.<\/p>\n

Considering this is a remaster of a 19 year-old game though, Bethesda are no doubt very happy with the results. There\u2019s no way to tell exactly how it\u2019s done on consoles yet, but it is the number one seller on PSN<\/a> at the moment. <\/p>\n

This might not be the peak for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered either. According to insider eXtas1s<\/a>, there is \u2018active work\u2019 happening for a Switch 2<\/a> port \u2013 although he gives no specifics on when it might come out.<\/p>\n

A Switch 2 version wouldn\u2019t be surprising when you consider Bethesda\u2019s support of the original Switch. The publisher released The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, Doom, and Doom Eternal<\/a> on the platform, and with the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages<\/a> also rumoured for Switch 2<\/a>, Oblivion feels like a shoe-in.<\/p>\n

Microsoft<\/a> at large hasn\u2019t announced any games for the Switch 2 yet, despite repeatedly stating its intentions<\/a> to support the console. However, some announcements could turn up at the Xbox summer showcase on Sunday, June 8 \u2013 just three days after the new console\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n
