Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuous\u2019 shadow drop moment for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered<\/a> was a resounding success last year. While the game still suffers from major performance issues on all platforms<\/a>, the remastered RPG has sold millions of copies across PC, Xbox and PlayStation.<\/p>\n According to trusted analytics firm Alinea Analytics<\/a>, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was Xbox\u2019s third best-selling game on PlayStation 5 in 2025 after Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Forza Horizon 5.<\/p>\n \u201cOblivion Remastered has sold 1.1M copies on PS5, proving the pull of Bethesda\u2019s legacy catalogue on PlayStation hardware,\u201d professional games industry analyser Rhys Elliot revealed. Previously, Elliot released accurate reports of Arc Raiders sales<\/a> as well as Battlefield 6<\/a> across all platforms.<\/p>\n Interestingly, despite selling over a million copies on PlayStation 5, Oblivion Remastered players on Sony\u2019s console played very little of the game. \u201cAround half of Oblivion Remastered players on PS5 played for less than 15 hours, showing that most people got their nostalgia fix before meaningfully progressing,\u201d Elliot reported.<\/p>\n While Elliot didn\u2019t touch on this in their report, the complete lack of mod support for the remaster may have also played a part in its low number of play hours. Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Starfield have all supported mods on console, and Oblivion Remastered\u2019s blanket omission of mod support<\/p>\n Interestingly, Elliot expects the rumoured PlayStation 5 port of Bethesda\u2019s often-maligned Starfield<\/a> to perform better than Oblivion Remastered when it eventually releases. While Starfield has its problems, it\u2019s relative newness and ex-exclusive status is expected to drive more players to the port when it launches alongside its rumoured 2.0 update.<\/p>\n \n
