The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the 2nd best-selling game of 2025 so far

While fans have been waiting well over a decade now for the next entry in The Elder Scrolls series (with no end in sight), instead of re-releasing Skyrim for the 100th time Bethesda Softworks decided to remaster 2006’s TES IV: Oblivion using Unreal Engine 5. Despite being a surprise release back in late April, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is currently the second highest-selling game of the year so far (in the US).

As shared by analyst Matt Piscatella of Circana, across all platforms (both digital and physical) in the US, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is currently positioned as the second-best selling game of the year so far (only behind Monster Hunter Wilds).

While a massive achievement in and of itself, the data only includes up until the 31st of May – meaning its current position is based off of just over a month worth of sales.

It’s also worth noting that Oblivion managed to achieve the 3rd highest sales of the year just over a week following its launch. Given this fact, it isn’t too surprising to see the remaster having climbed the ranks further since.

Will it overtake Monster Hunter Wilds for the top spot? We’ll have to wait and see, but considering that Oblivion is also available on Xbox Game Pass, it may not have the legs to outdo Capcom’s ongoing behemoth.
