Oblivion Remastered surpasses 4 million players in just 4 days: Bethesda celebrates huge milestone
Sharing the achievement in a post on X on Saturday, Bethesda expressed gratitude towards fans: "We are so grateful to the over four million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!"
The impressive figure includes players across all platforms, with a considerable number likely stemming from Xbox Game Pass. Oblivion Remastered was made available from day one on Microsoft's subscription service and is accessible to both PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate members.
Despite being featured on Game Pass, the title has also seen remarkable success on Steam. Data from SteamDB reveals that the game has surpassed 200,000 peak concurrent players, placing it among the most-played titles on the platform. As of the latest count, over 74,000 players were actively exploring the world of Cyrodiil.
Only major titles such as Counter-Strike 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds and Dota 2 have recorded higher player counts in the last 24 hours, demonstrating the strong demand for Bethesda's revamped classic.
After weeks of leaks and rumours hinting at its release, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was officially unveiled and made available to players simultaneously.
The remaster delivers enhanced visuals, with the game's assets rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5, alongside a host of gameplay improvements and quality-of-life updates.
Notably, the new edition bundles the original game with its major expansions—Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine—as well as additional downloadable content, including the notorious Horse Armour Pack.
The remastered edition of Oblivion is now playable on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Melinda French Gates reveals ‘outside' factors that led to divorce with Bill Gates; ‘I just knew it…'
Melinda French Gates has spoken candidly about her choice to file for divorce from Bill Gates after twenty-seven years of marriage, stating that her decision ultimately stemmed from a personal place. Melinda French Gates revealed her decision to divorce Bill Gates stemmed from personal revelations about the marriage. REUTERS/Kamil Zihnioglu/Pool/File Photo (REUTERS) 'When that voice would come — and it would come at different times because of things that had happened outside the marriage that I would later come to learn about — I kept pushing it away,' the 60-year-old philanthropist revealed on Wednesday's episode of the podcast 'How to Fail with Elizabeth Day.' French Gates acknowledged feeling under pressure to keep the marriage intact for their three kids and their joint charity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Speaking about the philanthropic venture, French Gates said that they had a huge foundation, and she supported that effort, adding that her inner voice eventually grew too loud to ignore. She clarified, 'At some point I had to turn towards it, and I just knew it and I knew it in my soul.' According to her, she took a long time to realize that her wedding with the co-founder of Microsoft was irreparable. She mentioned, 'I took marriage — and I still do — very, very seriously and it wasn't just two of us involved, it was five of us,' referring to the ex-couple's children.

When 'Today' program presenter Savannah Guthrie questioned the tech leader about whether adultery was a factor in the divorce, Bill acknowledged that he 'caused pain' to his family. During her appearance on 'CBS Mornings' that year, Melinda alluded to the notion that her ex-husband's involvement with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein also had a role in their breakup. 'I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him,' she had stated. 'He was abhorrent. He was evil personified.' Melinda French Gates and Bill Gates find new love The two have subsequently moved on romantically after their breakup, with Melinda falling in love with Philip Vaughn, her business partner. Meanwhile, Bill began dating Paula Hurd, the widow of Oracle CEO Mark Hurd and an ex-tech executive at NCR Global.
