The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Amazes Fans After 20-Year-Old Dupe Item Glitch Is Rediscovered

In a delightful revival for fans, the remastered version of Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos’ The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion features once more the notorious Dupe Item Glitch from the original game, sparking excitement among gamers two decades later.

Ever since the recent remastered version of Elder Scrolls was released on PC and consoles this week, longtime fans have been thrilled to revisit familiar spots and characters from Bethesda’s beloved 2006 fantasy RPG. The update brings a stunning visual overhaul, maintaining such an authentic feel to the original experience that Virtuos has even kept some of its quirky glitches and bugs, as well as a few helpful shortcuts!

In Oblivion Remastered, players have discovered they can still exploit a variant of the original’s Duplicate Items Bug, much like they did close to two decades ago. This trick lets users replicate almost any game item, requiring them to move around various menus and a barrel or storage container. The result? An endless supply of arrows, ingredients, and even infinite gold if you’re prepared to take your time and sell everything to a vendor once you’re done. For instructions on how to perform the Duplicate Items Trick, check out our guide here.

There’s been some discussion about various Dupe Item Glitch loopholes that appeared to have been addressed, but overall opinion tends to be that Virtuos preserving such a specialized issue in some form is impressive. Fast forward to 2025, and both veteran and novice Elder Scrolls enthusiasts can witness Cyrodiil as it was back in 2006, with numerous significant imperfections still present – a response to this timeless depiction is hard to ignore.
