Oblivion Remastered Breaks 4 Million Players in 4 Days

Bethesda Game Studios writes: We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!

Congrats goes to Todd and everyone at Bethesda and team Xbox for another huge milestone!

Hopefully after this huge success, Phil might greenlit New Vegas Remastered powered by UE5 as well.

Fingers crossed!

I wish for, at the very least, maybe Fallout 3 remaster? I mean the success of the show proves that not just hardcore gamers are ready for a great updated Fallout game. I believe it could potentially be even more successful than the Oblivion remaster. But I do like your idea of a New Vegas UE5 , because I actually never played that. Bethesda are better under Microsoft, I agree with you now after this "remaster". It's much cheaper and faster to do something like this for an old classic game. Reminds me of when Capcom started doing that with RE2. Gamer goodwill became skyhigh for Capcom. Fingers crossed indeed

F3 Remastered already came out on the court documents, so unless it was cancelled, which sounds unlikely as it would the best they can hope to have to match any releases of the TV show since F5 isn’t coming out any time soon.

That said, I do agree that if this has proven to be a hit and I don’t see why F3 wouldn’t be if it gets the same level of treatment, they will probably want to do more

[Yui_Suzumiya]

There's a rumor that Fallout 3 maybe remastered next.

[raWfodog]

Maybe they’ll remaster Skyrim next!

🤣

[CrimsonWing69]

I know you joke but there’s already been 2 different retail remasters, so it wouldn’t shock me if they did another.

It's on GamePass. According to Steam DB: it has a 190k peak, which is not close to 4 mil. It didn't even reach 500k on Twitch stats and owner estimations are hovering around 1 mil or less.

[Lightning77]

4 million when you include GP.

[anast]

Read my comment. I stated that in the very first part.

[thesoftware730]

Yeah, let's listen to you anast and not an official release from the developers, because, you know, he used twitch and steam peak numbers and his calculator lol...

[anast]

It's not official. There aren't any official numbers. It just says 4 million people touched the game. At least the numbers I provided give a sketch of what's going on. They devs are being vague to market the game. By the looks of it not a lot of people are buying it.

[Michiel1989]

the bonfire pisser is back, before i even saw the comments i knew you woulda been playing the Gamepass excuse card to say its actually an unsuccessful, bad and unfun game. At least the horse armor is free, so you can't cry about that this time XD

[thesoftware730]

anast,

"At least the numbers I provided give a sketch of what's going on"

No sir, it did not, you didn't even count PS5 lol.

"By the looks of it not a lot of people are buying it."

Huh? Twitch and Steam DB is what your whole "Sketch" is based on, don't make me laugh, it doesn't even make sense, not everyone uses Twitch, and the game is available on way more than Steam, and you realistically have no idea how many console or PC GP players played played the game, and again you completely left out PS5.
The install base of PS5 and Xbox GP console alone could easily push it to 4 mill players.

Just stop, your "Sketch' is incomplete , nonsensical and ill conceived.

[anast]

It's called a sketch for a reason. Please look up the words you don't understand before you waste your time.

[Lightning77]

You also said 190k peak which isn't close to 4m. You confirmed its on GP then basically said it can't be true because of steam. Your comment is makes no sense and confusing.

[thesoftware730]

It's called reaching, and it's a symptom of being stuck in a fictional console war, even though the game is on PS5 lol.

His entire post was a hard, hard reach that when he wrote it, he was absolutely aware that it made no sense, and haphazardly constructed, especially leaving out PS5, the largest install base. He could not fight the overwhelming urge because of his blind dislike of MS...so what does he do? he posted it anyway without care of embarrassing himself.

[Tedakin]

Clair Obscur just broke 1 million sales in 3 days. Oblivion has been ahead of it on Steam all week. What does that tell you?

[L3e]

Thank you, was not aware it was on GamePass.

[CrimsonWing69]

I don’t think Steam metrics are anything to go by to determine a game’s success. I see so many YouTube Doom and Gloomers using the guestimation metrics for Steam (which I don’t feel are accurate) and make videos about how a game is a failure, only to be hit with the company saying so-and-so game sold 2 mill (I’m using Dragon Quest 3 2D/HD and Dr. Disaster). You look at something like FF16 (sold 3 mill) and what the Steam DB says, same with something like FF7 Rebirth.

Point is, I don’t think the Steam DB metrics is anything you can use to gauge a game’s success. Not without the full facts.

[lukasmain]

Well done, despite not getting exact sales, this is still great news because the budget for this and the development time wouldn't have been much at all when compared to a full 6 or 7 year development window and the cost that would entail. So it does seem like a great success and even better when you consider that they shadow-dropped it without paid marketing. Hope this team is already past pre-production on another "remaster" of another classic, I'm personally hoping for Fallout 3 remaster

[MaximusPrime_]

Microsoft realised how stupid they had been and delayed following Sega's example.
There you go MS, worldwide lots more people own PS5 or PC than Xbox. You got the money you're desperate for.

To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software.

[Obscure_Observer]

"To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software."

MS will continue to release new consoles as they´ll continue and make tons of money out PC, PS5 and Switch 2 as well.

Gamers on other platforms will happily pay full price for amazing Xbox games while we get everything day one on Game Pass.

It´s a win win for everyone.

[Extermin8or3_]

Why? Assuming game pass market penetrative remains as it is now i will continue to lose money or onl just pull a profit. Why would MS continue to run it? When they can cut the cost out and make a tonne of money just selling games the games. Eventually, sooner rather than later the investors will call time on it. That's why next xbox is basically a rebranded ROG Ally.

[P_Bomb]

Opted to buy a copy last night instead of GamePassing it. All the guilds should keep me busy for a while. Now to get a house, and try not to get Vampired lol!

[ZeekQuattro]

Had that happen last night. I promptly reloaded an earlier save as soon I saw the words pop up on screen. It was the first vampire I came across as well. 😆

[P_Bomb]

LOL, small world! I’ve been reading that some ppl have apparently been bitten while sleeping! Now I’m paranoid 😝

[mkis007]

You don't need to reload a save just when you contract the disease. It takes I think 3 days for it to turn you. Just go to a church and get clensed.

[DazaMc]

I wonder how many actual sales? I played it on GamePass for an hour and won't be back, the frame rate was terrible.

[thesoftware730]

Congratulations on a great remaster...I played the opening and man does it look great, and the combat hits actually has a bit of omf to it.

I will get to it at some point, still playing Avowed, South of Midnight is next, and then CO: E 33..Damn MS, slow down lol.

[Eonjay]

They can't slow down because they are several huge multiplatform publishers under one corporation.

[Mike69]

No reason to chears,had i know in advance about the very bad performance i would not have brought it.Now Im stick with a game that plays Terrível,sometimes worst than the native release 20 years ago.

[Eyesoftheraven]

$200 million gross? Wonder what they made net. That's wild numbers.
