This effort doesn't seem to have been in vain either, as combined with the community's thirst for more Elder Scrolls, the Oblivion Remaster has had the second-biggest single-player launch of 2025 so far, at least on Steam.

Mere hours after the Oblivion remaster launched, the game rushed to the highest of first-day highs on Steam with a peak of 182,298 players jumping into the game at the same time, according to . This is the second-highest peak of any single-player game that has been released this year, behind 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's 256,206.

Notably, though, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 didn't peak until the weekend, reaching its highs five days after the game launched. On launch day, Warhorse Studios' RPG managed a peak of 159,351, meaning if the Oblivion remaster continues on the same trajectory, it should beat KCD2 on Sunday evening. Not bad for a ☂20-year-old game.

There are a handful of multiplayer games that have, at least at this point, outdone the Oblivion remaster. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Monster Hunter Wilds has had the biggest launch of the year, and will take some beating, peaking at almost 1.4 million players (the fifth-highest peak of any game on Steam, ever), but other games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Split Fiction and indie darling 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Schedule 1 have, so far, reached higher heights.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster also still has a little way to go if it plans to beat Skyrim's peak, with the oft-memed title hitting 287,411 players 13 y🧸ears ago. With the adoption rate of the Obliviꦐon remaster, however, it would be no major surprise to see it surpass its successor at the weekend.
