  • Refined gameplay mechanics, including tweaks to combat and exploration.
  • All original downloadable content, including the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions, is included.
  • Two editions available: a $50 Standard Edition and a $60 Deluxe Edition, the latter featuring bonus content such as extra weapons and the iconic horse armor as a playful nod to the original DLC.

Where and How to Play

Oblivion Remastered is available right now on:

  • PC (Steam, Microsoft Store)
  • Xbox Series X|S (including Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass)
  • PlayStation 5

Players can purchase the game directly from their preferred digital storefront or, for Xbox and PC users, download it at no extra cost via Game Pass. Simply search for “Oblivion Remastered” on your platform’s store, buy or download, install, and you’re ready to return to the world of Cyrodiil.
