- Oblivion Remastered’s recent reviews have been mixed on Steam, with most complaining about the game’s broken state.
- Players claim that updates have made the performance worse, and on top of that, the game also frequently crashes.
- The last update was released in July, with growing concern that Bethesda may have abandoned the game altogether.
2025 has been one of the biggest years for RPG fans with numerous releases such as Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, and most notably, the shadow-dropped Oblivion Remastered.
Oblivion Remastered was an instant hit when it dropped four months ago and went on to become the 3rd best-selling game in the US. However, Bethesda has seemingly abandoned the title, as it is plagued by several issues, leading to it being review-bombed on Steam.
Why it matters: The Elder Scrolls franchise is too big to be left in a poor state. For a remaster to have game-breaking issues is unacceptable and leaves the title in an unplayable state for gamers.
While the overall reviews for Oblivion Remastered stand at ‘Very Positive’, the most recent ones are ‘Mixed.’ Players have been complaining about severe performance issues, game-breaking bugs, and whatnot.
This review states that the game’s condition has worsened since the last update, with performance dropping rather than improving. This player doesn’t even achieve a stable 30FPS in cities, although that was previously the case.
Another review also complains about the bugs and the frequent crashes that the player encounters. Crashes like these have made progression for the player quite impossible.
It’s worth noting that Oblivion Remastered hasn’t received an update in almost two months. The last update, 1.2, dropped on July 16, and Bethesda has been radio silent on the game ever since.
The game’s mod support isn’t great at all and frequently encounters compatibility issues. From what it seems, Bethesda never really had a long-term plan to support the game since they left it in a position like this.
