Bethesda’s remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has been a huge hit but there’s already a discounted deal for PC players.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered may have been an open secret for months, but after its surprise launch last week, it’s clear many people are nostalgic for a return to Cyrodiil.
The remaster has already hit some impressive player numbers on Steam, with Bethesda revealing that the revamped role-player has surpassed four million players in total across PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
If you’ve been hesitant to jump in due to the £49.99 price tag, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has already been discounted at one retailer – although only for the PC.
A deal on Fanatical is offering the standard edition of the remaster for £41.49, which is 17% off its usual £49.99 price. The deluxe edition has also been discounted to £49.79, a drop from £59.99.
There is no physical edition of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, with this deal only applicable to digital copies of the PC version. This is the cheapest deal out there though (through reputable websites, at least), so it’s nothing to sniff at.
The standard version comes with the base game and all the original downloadable content, including story expansions Shivering Isles and Knights Of The Nine.
Meanwhile, the deluxe edition adds digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon armours, weapons, and horse armour sets, along with a digital artbook and soundtrack app.
The original Oblivion was released in 2006 on the Xbox 360 and PC, and is the predecessor to Bethesda’s juggernaut hit The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. The sixth mainline Elder Scrolls game is currently in development.
Along with a visual overhaul in Unreal Engine 5, the remaster features various gameplay improvements, including additional feedback in combat, the option to sprint, an altered levelling system, and a revamped user interface.
According to insiders, Bethesda is already developing a Switch 2 port, but it’s unclear when it could come out.
