The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered made a massive impact with its launch on Steam, achieving a peak concurrent player count of over 180,000 on its release day, April 22. This shadow-drop by Bethesda propelled the game to the top of Steam's global top-selling list, surpassing heavyweights like Valve's Counter-Strike 2, the viral hit Schedule I, and Blizzard's Overwatch 2, which had just received a significant update.
On the same day, Oblivion Remastered ranked as the fourth most-played game on Steam, trailing only behind Counter-Strike 2, PUBG, and Dota 2. It has quickly become the most-played single-player RPG on the platform, outranking the popular Baldur's Gate 3, and boasts a 'very positive' user review rating.
While Steam's statistics provide a glimpse into the game's success, they don't capture the full picture. As a Microsoft-owned title—Microsoft acquired Bethesda's parent company, ZeniMax Media—Oblivion Remastered was immediately available on Xbox Game Pass for Ultimate subscribers. Given the popularity of the subscription service, it's likely that the game's player base extends far beyond the figures reported on Steam.Furthermore, the release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S adds to the game's reach. Although Microsoft and Sony do not disclose player numbers, the true peak concurrent player count for Oblivion Remastered on launch day is undoubtedly much higher than the 180,000 reported on Steam.
While Bethesda has not yet released total player or sales figures, the game's early success is undeniable. As Oblivion Remastered enters its first weekend on sale, player numbers are expected to soar even higher.
