Following months of leaks and rumours, the long-awaited and much anticipated Elder Scrolls Oblivion remaster/remake is finally here. Despite little to no official lead up to the game’s release, the title has proven to be an immediate hit – amassing well over 100,000 concurrent players in mere hours.

As of writing, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remastered has seen an immense number of players flock to the game in the immediacy following its official launch, with the title currently sitting at over 147,000 concurrent players on Steam.

For comparison, another major single player game released this year was Assassin’s Creed Shadows – and while it has so far been a hit for Ubisoft, the game achieved less than half the peak concurrent players of Oblivion on Steam (64,825 CCU).

Of course, the original Oblivion was a rather PC-centric title, and so it is likely that a solid percentage of players do hail from the PC space. Even so, there is no denying that the Oblivion remaster is already a success.

It will be interesting to see whether Microsoft chooses to share game sales data or not and how this will impact their other future plans.
