The new Oblivion remake just unlocked another performance milestone, reaching a whopping 9 million players across consoles and PC. That's up +5 million users since April, where Xbox revealed that Oblivion Remastered had reached 4 million players just days after launch.

For reference, it took the original Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion nearly 10 years to reach this many players, as the game had sold 9.5 million copies by 2015.

As per usual from Microsoft, this metric includes full game sales as well as access from Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, so it's not fully representative of either indicator. However, Circana executive director Mat Piscatella confirmed that Oblivion Remastered was a huge success in the US, where it sold more copies at launch than the original Oblivion had sold in over a year's time.

"The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Remastered sold more units in Apr 2025 than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion achieved across its first 15 months in market combined following its March 2006 debut and generated more full game dollar sales than the original's first 14 months combined."

At the time of writing, Oblivion Remastered is the second best-selling game of the year in the United States, as per data from Circana's Mat Piscatella.

It's unclear whether or not Bethesda will add in Creation Club paid mods content into Oblivion Remastered to open up another potential revenue stream, but for now there are a multitude of mods available for the game.
