Oblivion Remastered is already the third best-selling game of 2025, and that is solely going by knowledge from its first week on the market.
That is in accordance to Circana gaming analyst Mat Piscatella (thanks, PC Gamer), going by greenback gross sales from Oblivion Remastered’s first week on the market.
“After only one week in market (w/e 4.26) Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is already the third best-selling game of 2025 in the US ($ gross sales) trailing solely Monster Hunter: Wilds and Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” Piscatella mentioned on Bluesky.
Unsurprisingly, it was additionally the best-selling game of that week. Though perhaps that is not such a enormous shock with the acclaimed and fast-selling JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 releasing throughout the similar week.
In one other Bluesky post, Piscatella mentioned Oblivion Remastered “took the prime spot on Steam US” for whole weekly energetic customers throughout the week that ended April 26. It took the second spot in that very same class on Steam Canada, and on Xbox it was fourth, and on PlayStation it was fifteenth.
After all, if this was Elder Scrolls 6 we’re speaking about, this knowledge could be so insignificant that I most likely would not even be writing a story about it. After all the new Elder Scrolls game is one of the 12 months’s best-selling video games, I might be considering.
However this game got here out in 2006. The truth that a easy, albeit well-made, remaster is catapulting to the record of best-selling video games of the 12 months at such a speedy tempo actually is testomony to the Elder Scrolls sequence’ longevity.
This Oblivion Remastered Easter egg is forcing me to confront a tough reality about early 2010s meme tradition: It was by no means humorous, truly.
