Okay, so here’s the scoop on this whole Oblivion Remastered thing. I promise it’s not your typical article. I mean, it shot up to be the third best-selling game in the U.S. in 2025 just a week after it came out! How wild is that? Elder Scrolls fans are hardcore, and hey, so am I. This version’s sticking real close to what made the original awesome. But, you know, some people—maybe just me, honestly—wish it was a full remake. But who am I kidding, right?
Anyway, so Bethesda and Virtuos stealth-dropped this game, no fuss, and it’s selling like hotcakes. The market research brainiac, Mat Piscatella from Circana, dropped this info on Bluesky, which, by the way, is where all the cool kids are these days. He said, “After just one week, blah blah blah, it’s trailing only Monster Hunter: Wilds and Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.” Fifth best-selling? More like blazing hot!
—But get this, isn’t it kind of funny that all these top games have colons in their titles? What’s up with that? Piscatella jokingly hinted that maybe colons attract cash. Not sure if I’m buying that, but it made me chuckle. “More colons = more $$$,” he says. Imagine getting a free cologuard every time. The things that pop into my brain, I swear.
Oh, and mods! Of course, mods. They’re already taking off, which is fantastic. Some modder added a new location—can’t remember which one—and they’re buzzing about how it could hit the “pinnacle of Elder Scrolls modding.” Lofty words, but I’m intrigued!
Mods or no mods, honestly, if you’re diving in for the first time or just need a little nudge to brush off the cobwebs, there are guides out there you might wanna peek at. Trust me, they might save you a headache or two. Alright, ramble over—until next time!
