What is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered?

A single-player open-world fantasy RPG playable in first or third person.

The remaster includes the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions and other previously released downloadable content.

  • +you enjoy open-world exploration and story-focused quests
  • +you want flexible warrior, assassin, or sorcerer builds
  • +you prefer solo fantasy adventures with swordplay and magic

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer multiplayer adventures over long solo exploration
  • −you want tightly linear levels rather than an open world

What players say

75% of 70,328 reviews are positive · 48% of 380 in the last 30 days

Players praise the updated visuals and lighting, smoother mechanics, and the quests and world carried over from the original. The dominant complaints are persistent stuttering, frame drops, memory leaks that can worsen on longer saves, and unfixed bugs; recent players say updates have not addressed these problems.
