Bethesda's Oblivion Remastered now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC: Check prices and what's new
Bethesda has officially released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on Tuesday, offering thousands of gamers the chance to relive the 2006 classic with modern enhancements. This shadow-drop release follows a leak that got fans buzzing, and the remaster is now available across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Developed by Virtuous, the remaster brings significant updates to the beloved RPG, offering a fresh coat of paint alongside revamped gameplay mechanics, reported Hindustan Times.
Todd Howard, Bethesda's studio head, shared his thoughts on the remaster: "Oblivion was a real defining moment in the series and for how we make games as a studio." The remaster is designed to both appeal to long-time fans and entice newcomers to the series with its updated visuals, gameplay adjustments, and the inclusion of all original downloadable content (DLCs), such as Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine.
For PlayStation 5 users, the remaster can be purchased digitally through the PlayStation Store for ₹ 4578, with a Deluxe Edition priced higher at ₹ 5411, featuring additional content like new weapons and the infamous horse armour. While physical copies may surface at retailers like Walmart and GameStop, the digital version is expected to be the primary option at launch.
Xbox Series X|S owners can grab Oblivion Remastered from the Microsoft Store , with a Deluxe Edition offering extra bonuses. Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can enjoy the game at no additional cost, available on both Xbox consoles and PC from day one.
On PC, the game can be found on Steam, Windows Store, or via Xbox Game Pass. The standard edition is priced similarly at ₹ 4578, with potential discounts available through third-party resellers like Instant Gaming. For those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, the game is accessible at no extra charge, making it a cost-effective option for subscribers.
The remaster utilises Unreal Engine 5, bringing a complete visual overhaul with improved lighting, more detailed character models, and an overall sharper look. The game's combat has also been modernised, with Souls-like blocking mechanics, refined archery, a more complex stamina system, and enhanced stealth options. All of the original DLCs are included, preserving the expansive world of Oblivion in a more polished form.
The remaster is a substantial download, requiring around 120GB of storage, so players should ensure they have sufficient space.
Bethesda unveiled the remaster in a livestream event on April 22, 2025, further igniting excitement for this long-awaited update to a fan-favourite game.

‘Chaliye aap mere saath': Jaya Bachchan lashes out at paparazzi as they swarmed her outside Rono Mukherjee's prayer meet
Several actors attended the prayer meet of late director Rono Mukherjee, which was held in Mumbai recently. Among them was veteran actor, MP Jaya Bachchan who almost lost her cool when paparazzi surrounded her outside the venue. Several videos of the incident have surfaced online, sparking debate about Jaya's infamous equation with the media and photographers. In a video, Jaya dressed in white, is seen walking out of the prayer meet venue. She was with the late director's son Samrat Mukherjee when paparazzi surrounded them for pictures. Reacting to the frenzy, Jaya seemed irritated. She asked Samrat in Bengali, "Eder kano daako (Why do you ask them to come)?" He answered her, 'Aami daakini (I didn't call them),' as per a report of Hindustan Times. In another viral video, Jaya and Shweta seemed to be waiting for the car when the former slammed the paparazzi. Sarcastically, she told them, "Chaliye aap log mere saath. Aajaiyye (Come with us. Do come)." She then murmured, "Bakwas sab, gande gande se sab (Nonsense)." Rono Mukherjee was a Bollywood director who helmed movies like Haiwan (1977) and Tu Hi Meri Zindagi (1965). Belonging to the Mukherjee-Samarth family, he was the elder brother of Deb Mukherjee. Lesser known but prominent, he was the brother of Shomu Mukherjee (Kajol's father), Subbir Mukherjee, Joy Mukherjee, and Deb Mukherjee. Rono died in Mumbai on 28 May. He was 83. His funeral took place on Wednesday around 4 pm at Pawan Hans in Mumbai. Rono was also the uncle of Bollywood actors Kajol, and Rani Mukerji, and the father of actress Sharbani Mukherjee. He was also the uncle of director Ayan Mukerji and actress Tanishaa Mukerji. His cousins were Ram Mukherjee (Rani Mukerji's father), Shyam Mukherjee, Gitanjali Mukherjee, Subhash Mukherjee, and Sanjoy Mukherjee. The loss of Rono Mukherjee is the second tragedy for the Mukerji family in recent months. In March, Ayan Mukerji's father and veteran actor Deb Mukherjee passed away at the age of 83. Jaya Bachchan shares a close bond with the Mukerji family and is often seen visiting them during key moments. Meanwhile on the work front, Jaya Bachchan was last seen in filmmaker Karan Johar's romance drama, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. It also starred Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh alongside Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi.
