Oblivion Remastered has been released on every platform except Nintendo's, but according to a known gaming industry leaker, that may change.

The insider is eXtastv, who has been fairly hit and miss with his predictions, but according to the leaker, Bethesda is currently working on a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Oblivion Remastered, with the leaker saying there is "active work by Bethesda" on the project. How possible is this? Well, considering the power of the Nintendo Switch 2 and titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, and most importantly, The Duskbloods, are all open-world games that are coming to the Switch 2 and will push the console's performance capabilities.

What is likely the most significant indicator that the Switch 2 will be capable of running a cut-down version of Oblivion Remastered is that the console is compatible with Unreal Engine 5, as Fortnite running a version of Unreal Engine 5 will be available on the platform. While the graphic intensity and scope of Fortnite compared to Oblivion Remastered are entirely different, it confirms the console is, at the very least, capable of running an Unreal Engine 5 game, which is what developers used to create Oblivion Remastered.

AMD's RX 9060 XT graphics cards might be going on sale as soon as May 18, somewhat earlier than the timeframe the rumor mill has previously forecast for the release date.

If you recall that previous buzz on the grapevine, it claimed that AMD was looking at a Computex reveal (the show starts on May 20) for the RX 9060 XT GPUs (8GB and 16GB models), followed by a release in June.

That may well have been true at the time it was reported, and indeed the new rumor - coming from the Board Channels over in China (via VideoCardz) - insists that AMD was indeed planning this. However, apparently Team Red has now brought forward the release to May 18.

Oblivion Remastered has been causing quite a stir - indeed, the excitement around this remake has been more like a tidal wave - since it was revealed yesterday, and that includes a surge of activity on the mod front.

As we've already reported, while mod support is not official, Bethesda hasn't outlawed these add-ons either, it's just that if you use them and it breaks the revamped take on Oblivion, you're on your own.

And there's been a flood of mods, as Eurogamer picked up, with the numbers of the unofficial modifications out there now cresting over 100, a mere day after the remake was made available.

It has been less than 24 hours since the release of Oblivion Remastered, and someone has already managed to get a playable version of the game inside a virtual reality headset.

The YouTube channel LunchAndVR has released what appears to be the very first look at Oblivion Remastered in VR with motion controls. The mod used to achieve this is called UEVR, which is a tool that converts Unreal Engine games to VR experiences, and since Oblivion Remastered uses Unreal Engine 5, the tool seems to have worked just great. The description of the YouTube video reveals that these are just very early tests of the build, and it isn't without any problems, as some motion controls are still causing the game to crash.

As for performance, LunchAndVR reports that the game runs very well indoors but experiences performance dips when outside. The above video was captured with the following game settings and hardware: Medium graphics, DLSS set to Performance, a Quest 3 VR headset with Virtual Desktop VDXR, Ultra, 72Hz, and a PC with a GeForce RTX 4090, Intel Core i9 13900 with 64GB of RAM. Notably, the gameplay was captured on the GamePass version of the game, with LunchAndVR also saying it works on the Steam version too.

Oblivion Remastered has been out for less than a day, and it has already received a selection of mods that can be downloaded and easily installed by players.

One of the biggest components of a Bethesda title is the player-driven community of modders who push the limits of what is possible within the world that Bethesda and its developers have created. An example of this is Skyrim, which one could argue wouldn't have maintained its staying power in the gaming zeitgeist without its plethora of player-created mods, which introduce an almost infinite number of ways to replay the game. Now Bethesda has confirmed and released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered one of the first questions players asked was - does it come with mod support?

Officially, Bethesda doesn't support mods for Oblivion Remastered, but all that means is that Bethesda won't help you if you decide to use mods and the game suddenly breaks. If the game does break, Bethesda recommends uninstalling the mods and verifying the game files' integrity. Alternatively, you can simply uninstall and reinstall the game. Despite these disclaimers, it hasn't stopped mod creators from already pushing out several mods for Oblivion Remastered, with the most popular being listed below.

Igor's Lab has just released a new in-depth report that uncovers a potential 'hotspot issue' affecting all GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, unrelated to the GPU chip or the latest GDDR7 memory. The hotspots have been recorded in the power delivery systems on the PCB, which Igor's Lab says could affect the longevity of affected graphics cards built using NVIDIA's reference designs.

Igor's Lab tested a range of GPUs from NVIDIA partners like Palit, PNY, MSI, and others. It describes the issue as "heat nests" located below the power supply that aren't often actively or otherwise cooled. And the issue seems to be worse on lower-tier cards like the GeForce RTX 5070, as the shorter and smaller PCB means these sections are more densely packed between the GPU and the display outputs.

Looking at a PNY GeForce RTX 5080 and RTX 5070, the former records a hotspot measuring 80.5 degrees Celsius, while the RTX 5070 reports a hotspot of 107.3 degrees Celsius. In the case of the RTX 5070, this is with a GPU temperature of 69.7 degrees.

NVIDIA DLSS is now available in 769 apps and games, making it a key technology in most PC games, not just those with ray-tracing effects. With the arrival of the GeForce RTX 50 Series of GPUs this year, NVIDIA introduced DLSS 4, which improves image quality by implementing a brand-new complex AI transformer model. DLSS is both forward and backward compatible, so DLSS 4 support is already available in over 100 games.

DLSS is more than Super Resolution as it also includes DLSS Frame Generation and Multi Frame Generation - the latter is exclusive to the new GeForce RTX 50 Series. This week, NVIDIA announced that seven new games are getting DLSS, including The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which includes support for DLSS 4.

DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation is also available in Steel Seed, a brand-new stealth-action adventure set in a sci-fi world. It's the second game from the indie studio behind the acclaimed Close to the Sun, and it's a notable departure thanks to Steel Seed's blend of fast-paced combat and stealth mechanics. For a closer look at the action, check out the trailer below.

Skyblivion is a fan remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, built within the Skyrim engine. We've been following this project for quite some time, with our most recent report on the ambitious game noting that its release is on track for 2025.

After 11 years of development from a passionate team of modders, Skyblivion is a remake in the proper sense in that it overhauls dungeon layouts, environments, combat, quests, and more. With Bethesda's surprise The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered launch, you might wonder what this means for Skyblivion? Will there be a "cease and desist" now that Oblivion is back in the spotlight?

Nope. The opposite. Bethesda has provided its full support and blessing to the 50+ developers who have been painstakingly remaking Oblivion in the Skyrim engine. With the release of Oblivion Remastered, the studio has gifted each member of the Skyblivion team a copy of the game.

Corsair's VOID headset range has been around for some time. As a line-up that has delivered when it comes to sound quality, comfort, and build quality, odds are several PC gamers are still rocking some original Corsair VOID gaming headsets.

The new Corsair VOID WIRELESS v2 Gaming Headset is available now for $119.99 USD. This new audio solution maintains the same focus on sound quality, comfort, and build quality with a modern re-engineered design. On the wireless front, there's support for both low-latency 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth, with the option to seamlessly switch between connections. The versatility is greatly enhanced with support for PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.

Battery life is also dramatically improved, offering up to 70 hours of playtime with six hours after a quick 15-minute charge. Underneath the hood, you'll find more impressive upgrades thanks to the new custom-tuned 50mm neodymium audio drivers and Dolby Atmos support.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available now, with the new Unreal Engine 5 visuals dramatically overhauling the 2006 classic. As an Unreal Engine 5 title, the PC version supports a wide range of hardware, including the Steam Deck; however, Bethesda and developer Virtuos recommend an AMD Radeon RX 6800XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 GPU for that immersive 60 FPS experience. However, crank everything to Ultra and 4K, and the story changes.

Running on Unreal Engine 5, the remastered Oblivion is a Lumen ray-tracing title that offers the option to choose from a hardware or software-based approach. Hardware Lumen RT differs from full ray-tracing as it blends screen-space information with hardware ray-tracing to enhance lighting. The difference is noticeable, with Lumen RT offering more realistic lighting, reflections, ambient occlusion, and more.

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered's detailed open world, the enhanced ray-traced lighting. However, for the game's 'Ultra' quality visuals in 4K, Bethesda recommends a GeForce RTX 4090 (as seen in the review guide) - so this game will seriously push gaming PCs to their limit for years to come. On the plus side is support for NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR technologies.
