Bethesda has just released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Yes, the team has released the game now on Steam, and below you can find its official PC system requirements.
Developed by Virtuos Games, the game is powered by Unreal Engine 5. So, let’s see what kind of PC system you’ll need to run it.
PC gamers will at least need an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i7-6800K with 16GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti. The game will also require 125GB of free disk space.
The devs recommend using an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or Intel Core i5-10600K with 32GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 6800XT or NVIDIA RTX 2080.
Since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered uses UE5, we can assume that it is using Lumen for its lighting. So, I’m curious to see whether there is support for NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and/or Intel XeSS.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered uses high-quality assets that were created from the ground up. These are new assets, not the original ones upscaled with AI. As such, the game can look as good as most modern-day titles.
I’m currently downloading the game, so I’ll be sure to share my first tech impressions later today or tomorrow.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Damn it really dropped today. I'm excited but I planned to play expedition 33. I guess that's a bit bad for that game to launch in the same week.
not really ones a turned based rpg and another is the 8th million open world game.
I am gonna go ahead and say it, oblivion sucked compared to morrowind, in fact i have never played skyrim because of it. But now that i saw avowed and how inferior to oblivion it is, i gotta do the "perhaps i judged you too harshely" meme/
Every gen has worse games than the last one, its not surprising that people play old games nowadays.
If you play this, you'll think the original oblivion was a masterpiece and I personally find that game to be utter trash.
the level scaling was annoying as sh*t in oblivion. so many broken weapons.
Did they change it in the remake?
don’t know haven’t tried it out yet.
I actually was extremely disappointed in Oblivion first time I played it.
I thought it was an arcade game. 🤣
But yeah, in 2025, now it feels like a masterpiece. 🤣(talking about the original, of course, not this remaster I didn't even try.)
Also, recently, I finally played the first Risen. I thought it was way too janky back in the 2000s, and I remember even ragequitting.
Now I'm ready to tolerate any jankiness, as long as it's a freaking REAL RPG. So far, even if the combat is brutal, I think Risen is actually fantastic.
Thanks, terrible modern developers! Now I have learned to recognize the true value of old games!😌👍
By the way, I've noticed the same about movies. Now I appreciate even the most average 70s movies, compared to the "best" 2020s movies.
Every which way but loose with Clint Eastwood is a freaking masterpiece compared to anything made in the past 10 years.🤣
yeah playing elex after playing modern games makes you feel like playing dark souls for the first time.
If you think Risen is fantastic, you need to play Gothic 1 and 2, they are even better, same devs.
I really enjoyed Risen 2, im a sucker for pirates/ island exploration
That's exactly right, Oblivion is a dumbed down Morrowind, and Skyrim is a dumbed down Oblivion.
This is why I struggle with people about using Remaster and Remake as if they are synonyms because publishers take advantage of this and charge $50 for a remaster just like as if it were a remake which offers far more content for the gamer.
Yes, I know that Bethesda is clearly calling this a remaster but they are charging what a remake should charge. They are doing this because most gamers don't know the difference.
Don't spend $50 on a remaster people or it will become the norm.
It's free with GamePass.
GamePass is a rental service that gives access to an entire library for $20 a month. It's modern BlockBuster. If you could have told your younger self "Hey, BlockBuster has this thing, for $20 a month, you could instantly have access to every game they offer for an entire month", that would blow your mind right? It's the same thing.
Does GamePass guarantee that you can go back and replay this game anytime you want to? Even years later? I sometimes go back and replay games that I really enjoyed all the way back to the 1990s.
GamePass is probably good for games for the past several years because most of the sh*t games aren't worth a replay or even a full playthrough to begin with. I haven't even played a game released after 2020 so don't pay any attention to my opinion 🙂
years later just buy the game at big disconted price on steam, win win
Dodi usually has bigger discounts than steam.
Mind boggling that people think game rentals are a rip off now with games getting more expensive. Some don't realize you can use a subscription service on a month to month basis.
Don't get tangled on the word; yes, it's a weird usage but still. It's a half-remake but there's no marketable term for that.
The whole remake of assets and graphics, whole new proper animations, new voices and everything else is probably worth the price.
There is a clear distinction between remaster and remake. Too many game sites and gamers as well are blurring the line between the two to the point that a Publisher can charge $50 for a remaster as if it were a remake and most are fine with it because they don't know the difference anymore.
This is not a run of the mill $20 graphics facelift remaster. Much more time and effort went into this remaster but it's not a remake. At most $30 would be an appropriate price for this extensive remaster but $50 is silly.
Fine, but in the end they charge 50 bucks because they can, because it’s a game with massive reputation first and because of looks great and it was a ton of work redoing everything visual and tweaking stuff, and the perceived value for most people, either old or new public, will be kinda not far from what they’re asking.
i need fallout 3 remaster after this and so many more games .remake all those old awesome games just like deluxe film blurays versions .
no new vegas, skip fallout, but bethesda will skip new vegas and make fallout 3 remaster because they are still salty.
Not surprised at all that this dumb AF comment that is basically encouraging these gay Jewish companies to leech on more beloved old games and produce more ugly and downgraded (((demasturds))), splitting their communities and polluting search engines in the process is coming from the same idiot who literally said "woke is better than this [Muslims]" just 8 short days ago.
but they made fallout 3 though.
I meant I don't want a (((demasturd))) version of Fallout 3 or any other game, especially not games with large modding communities such as Doom 3 (BFG Edition sucked and it split the community, it's not even designed to be mod-friendly like the original so I don't even know why do some people still make mods for it), original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy (they said they will eventually port the demasturd trilogy that was made for consoles, effectively splitting the community in the process sadly), etc., as well as don't want ugly and censored (((demakes))) that play and even look worse than the originals to not pollute search engines whenever you want to search for an old game before these Jewish vampires leeched on it.
EDIT: I also want to say that IMO, the only games that should get proper remasters are old games that weren't ported to PC or old PC games that either had terrible PC ports back in the day or are incompatible with modern Windows versions, such as MechWarrior 2 or Heavy Gear.
God, these games are nuclear disasters on modern Windows, and no matter how much I fiddled and tried to use external programs to get them running, they were simply not worth it. I just can't sit 24/7 on getting a single game to run and give myself headaches in the process, I just have a life like anyone else you know.
how do you find time to write these books in coments. arent you to busy brainwashing inocent arab teens to suicide bomb other inocent people for mohamud and tell them they get 70 virgins to. hahh there arent 70 virgins in all of your desert wasteland unless you count 12 year old girls that can run faster than there brother you perv freak sand brained camel lover rag head idiot
Hilarious, another bigoted stereotypical views of Muslims taken obviously from none other than the mainstream media and has obviously never studied Islam by itself. You do realize that if it wasn't for Islam, I wouldn't have been here commenting now, because I literally would've committed suicide a decade ago around 2015-2017?
Maybe try to finish reading your Talmud first, then maybe you'll be able to write a rational and coherent sentence properly?
STALKER Trilogy is censored as well, removes a ton of USSR iconography.
If you don't want a remaster of FA3/NV, don't play it. What's with you guys.
Because as I said, these cancer demakes will pollute the search results no matter what search engine you use.
Ow right, they will.. polute.. the ..search.
Right on dewd 🤘
Try to search for the original Dead Space from 2008 without getting at least 10+ search results showing that cancer demake from 2023, I’ll wait.
Apparently it runs FSR4… and the game has lots of massive frame drops in a lot of areas… so classic UE5 game.
The cool thing with the game being on UE5… you will be able to play it in VR using UEVR… havent tried it yet but it shouldnt take long.
Is the unreal engine 5 this bad for AMD gpus that a rx 6800xt is comparable to rtx 2080 ?
I have an rx 6600xt guess i will be waiting on this instead
Its for the RT requirement and the bus width. AMD's been about full 1 gen behind Nvidia in RT performance. AMD 6000 cards has near gaming RT performance to Nvidia's single gen older 20 series. then that is the lowest AMD card with that bus width configuration that'll do 1440p60 or 4k60 whatever the target is.
unreal engine 5 is a unoptimized sh*t show. I'd rather devs use unreal engine 4 if they must use unreal.
That's due to the inferior RT abilities of the 6000 series. Play it with Lumen RT off and you'll probably be just fine
The requirements? BEING WOKE.

The combat feels terrible, it feels generic and uderwhelming even worse than witcher 3, skyrim and even the original trash. I never liked oblivion anyways.
They also added highlight to items to kill the immersion, it's good for homosexuals who enjoy mmos and mobile/consolized trash.
The hitmarkers completely kill any immersion and I hate that this trash UI feature is on a checklist of every AAA producer ever.
The average non-binary overweight feminist developer:

LOL The war has started, once again!
its like its mandatory to have a body type nowdays. Even remasters and remakes are not safe, orwelian re writing of the past.
gotta appese to those things after all.

I'm watching a let's play video and it's getting worse by the minute. lol
Rohssan (weapons merchant in the city) always looked weird, but gee, this is taking it to another level. 😂
"Another satisfied customer". Yeah I don't know about that, ma'am! Sir? Whatever!
these character designs is one of the main reason i cant enjoy modern games. They are so offputing.
yikes
Wasnt it From software that started/popularized that? "The uber Le Based Chuds developer of choice" thats first I ever heard of tA/tB
They exceeded my expectations. Good job Todd
Now the long wait for the Fallout 3 Remaster … at least it was not as colorful as Fallout 4 … hope Virtuous keep the same tone for the Remaster.
Fallout 3 is what i REALLY want between these two.
And Morrowind before anything, but ok.
Still, it looks fantastic, really nice to see it looking so good after so long!
ngl its kinda been funny to see all the people triggered on the internet about the body type thing. The shoe really is on the other foot after all this time.
You know you've already won the "biggest DSOG f4gg0t award" right? You don't have to keep prove anything anymore.
I mean, it was excited for (((Dragon Age: The Veilguard))) so… what else would you expect from it???
triggered lol, keep seething
"nO uR tRiGgErEd REEEEE"
Keep projecting, it's a great look for you.
lol very unbothered react, nice
Didn’t read + you’re gay and have aids
that was actually pretty funny
imo its kinda crazy they drop this right before Expedition 33. It feels like the type of move you do if you're not confident in an upcoming release. the requirements also seem steep but optimized for the series x so its fitting but wow. kinda annoyed because just started a new run of oblivion a few weeks ago but can't wait for this.
looks like copy pasted avowed 2.0, looks 100% same avowed visuals, characters models, gameplay lul
Oh my. Better take your pills buddy.
They took away my potato face NPCs. I wonder what the remastered horse armor will look like? lol
the biggest part of oblivion that needed a remaster was the combat and floaty janky movement, i guess the graphic is atleast somehow improved but i dont think that they changed the actual gameplay
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e1e28f23128818c11ac91863da6708ab34aabd8537c0b46c60e7dc206bb0029e.jpg
Man, they made Redguards way blacker in this remaster.
Since the game is like 120gb (so I heard), they should rename it Oblivion: Bigger and Blacker edition. 🤣 Or Oblivion: The Blacker Scrolls or something.
Oh, by the way, this is Rohssan, weapons merchant in the Imperial City at the shop "A Fighting Chance".
Wait did they remove the breast armor from the game? Do all females wear the male version of the armors now?

lol the game is out since only a few hours, and there are already tons of mods to improve the completely messed up graphics.
As always, Bethesda did half a job and expect the modders to finish it!
This is Ayleid Reshade from Nexus website.

So what is the point of this game supposed to be and how is it reasonable to exspect people to pay £30-50 for a copy of an existing game..
I mean if you need to put everything on low just to play with more then 30 FPS, why not just get the OG oblivion?
