Oblivion Remastered is already the third best-selling game of 2025, and that is solely going by information 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 large shock with the acclaimed and fast-selling JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 releasing throughout the identical week.
In one other Bluesky post, Piscatella mentioned Oblivion Remastered “took the high spot on Steam US” for complete 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 information could be so insignificant that I in all probability 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 would be pondering.
However this game got here out in 2006. The truth that a easy, albeit well-made, remaster is catapulting to the listing of best-selling video games of the 12 months at such a fast tempo actually is testomony to the Elder Scrolls sequence’ longevity.
This Oblivion Remastered Easter egg is forcing me to confront a troublesome fact about early 2010s meme tradition: It was by no means humorous, really.
