The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered debuted with a strong launch on Steam, achieving a peak concurrent player count exceeding 180,000 on its release day.
Following Bethesda's surprise release of Oblivion Remastered on April 22, the game soared to the top of Steam’s global best-sellers list, ranked by revenue. It outperformed major titles like Valve’s Counter-Strike 2, the viral hit Schedule I, and Blizzard’s recently updated Overwatch 2.
Oblivion Remastered ranked as the fourth most-played game on Steam that day, trailing only Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, and Dota 2. It currently holds the title of the most-played single-player RPG on Steam, surpassing the revitalized Baldur’s Gate 3, and boasts a ‘very positive’ user review rating.
Steam statistics only tell part of the story. As a Microsoft-owned title (Microsoft owns Bethesda’s parent company, ZeniMax Media), Oblivion Remastered launched directly on Xbox Game Pass for Ultimate subscribers, likely attracting a significant number of players through the subscription service.
The game also released on PlayStation 5 and standard Xbox Series X and S, further boosting its reach. While neither Microsoft nor Sony disclose player numbers, the true peak concurrent player count on launch day likely far exceeds the 180,000 recorded on Steam.
The title is already shaping up as a major success, though Bethesda has yet to release total player or sales figures. With its first weekend on sale approaching, player numbers are expected to grow further.

Developed by Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, Oblivion Remastered features a host of visual and gameplay enhancements. It supports 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, as expected, but also includes deeper upgrades. Improved leveling systems, character creation, combat animations, in-game menus, new dialogue, a refined third-person view, and advanced lip-sync technology have all been well-received. Some fans argue it feels more like a remake, though Bethesda has clarified its remaster designation.
Originally released in 2006 as a sequel to the beloved Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion arrived on PC and Xbox 360, followed by PlayStation 3 in 2007. Set in the fictional province of Cyrodiil, the game centers on the player’s quest to thwart a fanatical cult aiming to open portals to the demonic realm of Oblivion.
