Oblivion Remastered launched to persistent technical problems across PC and console versions, with performance issues and bugs that have largely gone unaddressed for over a year following its last major patch. The remaster has attracted considerably less commercial success than rival remakes - Resident Evil 4's remake significantly outsold it this generation. Bethesda has acknowledged the game's troubled state, with studio leadership confirming via Reddit that fixes remain on the roadmap despite recent layoffs.
The Switch 2 port, arriving in August, offers potential relief. Bethesda claims the handheld version includes optimisations they intend to backport to PC and console versions, finally breaking the patch drought that's frustrated the playerbase. First gameplay footage has since circulated, though the company's tendency toward non-committal messaging has left fans sceptical about Bethesda's intentions with this and other remaster efforts.
Still hanging on. The latest UK boxed charts data is in, and Oblivion Remastered has taken a bit of a tumble after its strong debut, falling from the top spot all the way down to number 20. It's still not bad, and a drop in sales is always to be expected after launch, but we do w…
