Summary

  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is currently all the rage, with over four million players jumping into the RPG.
  • That said, it’s not the only TES game experiencing an uptick in popularity.
  • According to some new data, past Elder Scrolls titles are seeing bumps in player counts, including Skyrim, as well as the original version of Oblivion.

Following its much-anticipated unveiling and simultaneous release, it appears that virtually everyone, even their next-door neighbors, are now engrossed in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. In just a short time, the game has surpassed four million players and set a new concurrent player record on Steam.

As modifications become available and players delve deeper, they’re discovering that the classic Easter Eggs from the original game remain intact within the remastered version of Oblivion, with a few upgrades here and there. Essentially, it’s a delightful experience, and interestingly enough, recent data indicates that not only is Oblivion Remastered being enjoyed by many, but other TES titles are also experiencing a surge in popularity as well.

The Elder Scrolls Continues To Be One Of Gaming’s Biggest Franchises

According to TrueAchievements, it seems that other games not included in the Oblivion Remastered series have seen an increase in popularity, particularly on Xbox platforms.

Based on the data they’ve gathered, which covers more than three million Xbox accounts, there’s been a 26% rise in players for Skyrim Special Edition on Xbox. Interestingly, the original version of Skyrim has also experienced a significant surge in popularity, with a 28% increase in gamers playing it as well.

In other areas, Morrowind has experienced an uptick as well, albeit not substantial enough for headlines. On the other hand, The Elder Scrolls Online player count has grown by 5% following the release of Oblivion Remastered.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share this fascinating tidbit: Even with Oblivion Remastered gracing Game Pass subscribers, the original game’s allure seems to be stronger than ever! Intriguingly, the number of players has surged an astonishing 113% – that’s a significant jump from the 85% increase it garnered prior to the remaster’s unveiling. To put it simply, Bethesda’s universe continues to captivate us, and we’re just immersing ourselves in its rich lore.
