The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered's existence was heavily rumored for quite some time, and the fresh version of the beloved RPG was shadow-dropped by Bethesda on April 22 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Three days after the game's release, Bethesda reported that over 4 million people had started playing The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, making the title an instant hit for the company.

Oblivion Remastered City Gets Swarmed By Oblivion Gates
Mehrunes Dagon spawns a terrifying number of Oblivion gates in one specific city in Oblivion Remastered, resulting in some impressive visuals.
In a recent post on Reddit, KrisXela claimed to be having issues with The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered following its June 11 update, which contained a wide variety of bug fixes. KrisXela stated that they're currently playing the popular RPG through Game Pass on PC, but they can't get it to load correctly anymore. According to them, when they hit "Continue," they can get to a load screen, but then the screen goes black and stops responding. They claim to have tried removing mods, reinstalling the game, and booting up an earlier save file, but nothing worked. The issues seem to have arisen at an unfortunate time, as KrisXela stated that they had nearly reached 100% progress in the game, but now they might stop playing and just move on.
Oblivion Remastered Players Are Having Trouble Loading the Game
AJP11B claimed to have lost a staggering number of saves for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on their Xbox, while grivet said that their game crashed three times before they finally got it to work again on PlayStation 5. Pretend-Ad-3954 claims to have noticed a significant frame rate drop on Xbox Series X following the June 11 update, and stated that their game now "jitters." Many gamers were quick to try and help one another by offering potential solutions, but the issues seem to have persisted.
Prior to the update, some players were reporting issues with Sigil Stones in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, claiming that they were stuck inside an Oblivion Gate with no way of getting out after interacting with one. It's an issue that seems to have existed in the original version of the title as well, which was released in 2006. The biggest recommendation for players experiencing the problem involves loading up a previous save file, which can cause a loss in progress. Despite some hiccups here and there, many fans seem to be enjoying their time with Bethesda's popular RPG.
