By the Nine! Is how many millions of players have played The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has welcomed nine million players since its release.

After a fair smattering of leaks and rumours, Oblivion Remastered was finally revealed and launched back in April, giving us all a spruced up version of Elder Scrolls 4. On Oblivion Remastered’s debut, Bethesda offered some clarification on why its new release is a remaster, and not a full fat remake. “We never wanted to remake it – but remaster it – where the original game was there as you remember playing it, but seen through today’s technology,” it said.

And, that approach has evidently paid off, with the studio today celebrating nine million players, though it is worth noting that Oblivion also released on Xbox’s Game Pass service, likely boosting its numbers. The game is also available on PC and PlayStation.
