When Bethesda surprise-dropped The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on April 21, the gaming world was caught off guard - but in the best way. With a remake-like polish, this version catapulted onto consoles and PCs, pulling in a whopping four million players even without a single cent spent on traditional marketing.

What's crazy is how Oblivion Remastered climbed straight to the top of streaming charts like Twitch, becoming the talking point overnight. For those who've long been enchanted by The Elder Scrolls series, diving back into Cyrodiil feels like a nostalgic dream come true. Meanwhile, newcomers get to dive headfirst into a world filled with endless quests and adventures - all for free if you're on Game Pass.
With talk of other Bethesda games getting the same treatment, their track record proves exciting beyond a shadow of doubt. If Oblivion Remastered is any indication, we’re in for more mind-blowing nostalgia in the future!
