"Oblivion Remastered Ranks 3rd in U.S. Sales for 2025"

The success of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* continues to make waves in the gaming world. With an impressive peak concurrent player count of 216,784 on Steam and an announcement from Bethesda that it has attracted 4 million players, the game has solidified its status as a hit. Released on April 22, 2025, across multiple platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Game Pass, *Oblivion Remastered* has quickly risen to become the third best-selling game of the year in the U.S. after just one week on the market. According to Mat Piscatella from Circana, it trails only *Monster Hunter: Wilds* and *Assassin’s Creed: Shadows* in dollar sales, despite not including subscription service numbers in the chart.

This success has sparked speculation about future remasters, with *Fallout 3* and *Fallout: New Vegas* often mentioned as potential candidates. Bruce Nesmith, a designer on *Fallout 3*, has hinted at significant improvements, particularly in gun combat, to bring it in line with the advancements seen in *Fallout 4*. Nesmith told *VideoGamer* that *Fallout 3*'s combat "didn't hold up to shooters at the time" but expressed optimism about the enhancements a remaster could bring.

He praised the visual and gameplay enhancements in *Oblivion Remastered*, describing it as "Oblivion 2.0," indicating a significant leap forward from the original game.
