In a Twitter post, Bethesda announced that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is now 4 million players strong, just three days after rolling out. With the footfall for the weekend still to be accounted for, there are chances that this stat may be boosted even higher in the next few days. It's worth noting that the size of the player-base here doesn't translate to the number of sales, since Oblivion Remastered was also released as a day-one title on Xbox Game Pass.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Crosses Four Million Players

On the back of its commendable performance in its first few days, Oblivion Remastered has already reached a peak of 190,119 concurrent players on Steam, with that particular stat crossing at least 170K each day since the game's release. As far as player feedback on Valve's platform is concerned, the Virtuos-developed title holds a remarkable Very Positive rating based on more than 21K user reviews at the time of writing.

Elder Scrolls fans could have more exciting things to look forward to in the near future. While the fan-made remake of The Elder Scrolls 4, titled Skyblivion, is expected to land at some point in 2025, there are rumors that Oblivion Remastered could also hit the Nintendo Switch 2 eventually. However, the latter has not actually been announced at the time of this writing.
