Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered has finally shadow dropped after months of speculations and rumors. The gaming industry is shaken by the reveal, and the game is already doing numbers within hours of its release.
Now, Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered has hit a peak of a whopping 150K concurrent players on Steam.
Why it matters: The last major Elder Scrolls game was revealed over a decade ago, and fans have been waiting patiently for a new release. The launch of The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster demonstrates the immense excitement and popularity the franchise has garnered.
Just for context, this peak is recorded under 6 hours of its release and is an impressive figure for a shadow drop that didn’t receive any official marketing prior.
It is also notable that Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered is released on a weekday during working hours, highlighting just how significant this launch is. The numbers are expected to continue climbing heading into the weekend.
Additionally, this player count is only from Steam users. The title is also a Day One Game Pass release, so it’s speculated that hundreds of thousands of players will tune in to the game from that subscription service as well.
Reviews of the game have been positive thus far. Already one of the best RPGs, Virtous Studio elevated the experience with the remaster, completely redoing its UI, adding new voice lines, and new assets to accommodate the shift to the Unreal Engine 5 engine.
