The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Players Await Critical Bug Fixes and Quality-of-Life Updates

2025-05-21 06:14:53

Players are growing increasingly anxious for a new patch for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, as the community hopes for essential fixes and enhancements. Despite its issues, the remaster has been widely praised, earning a "Very Positive" rating on Steam and attracting millions of players across platforms.

Developed by Virtuos and released on April 22, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered faithfully recreates the beloved 2006 RPG while introducing modern graphical upgrades and quality-of-life improvements. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the remaster delivers stunning visuals but demands high-end hardware, and some bugs from the original game persist.

Reddit user DesertTokala sparked a discussion in the game’s subreddit, highlighting the community’s frustration over the lack of updates from Bethesda and Virtuos. Players are calling for fixes to performance issues, a "key ring" feature to organize collected keys, and corrections for lingering visual effects from spells and weapons. The absence of official communication has fueled uncertainty among fans, who have been waiting nearly three weeks for news on a patch.

While The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is largely polished, the silence from developers has left players uneasy. Console gamers, in particular, are experiencing a major memory management issue on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, further exacerbating concerns.

Bethesda did release a hotfix on April 25, just three days after launch, but it introduced new problems, such as the removal of upscaling options on PC. The developers acknowledged some issues and began working on fixes, even opening a Discord channel for player feedback. However, the lack of follow-up updates has left the community in limbo.
