The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered has finally been revealed and released, and fans are impressed at its value — even taking a dig at Nintendo's Switch 2 game pricingTech14:28, 23 Apr 2025Oblivion is back, and it's never looked better(Image: Bethesda)The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is not only real, but you can play it now thanks to yesterday's 'shadow drop' that was unfortunately foreshadowed by developer Virtuous accidentally leaking a whole host of screenshots last week.Still, whether you played the original or not, there really has never been a better time, and while fans are returning to Cyrodil or taking their first steps out of the game's introductory sewers into its sprawling landmass, they're eating up the first single-player Elder Scrolls game since Skyrim back in 2011.‌Not only is the game available for Game Pass subscribers on Xbox and PC, but it's also retailing for $49.99 on Steam, causing players to celebrate a game that's priced 'reasonably' with some even taking a potshot at Nintendo ahead of the Switch 2 release.Article continues belowOver on the Elder Scrolls Reddit, one user pointed out that the Switch 2 selling for less than the $60 standard in the US (unless players want the Deluxe Edition) is the antithesis on Nintendo's pricing for Switch 2.Not only is the company planning to charge around $80 (or £75) for Mario Kart World, but Switch 2 versions of existing original Switch games are expected to cost almost £70, too.‌Since the package also includes the entirety of the DLC for the original game, it's a huge value proposition for players.How will you play?(Image: Bethesda)‌Sadly, the fun is short-lived for some thanks to regional pricing.UK gamers will need to pay £50 for the standard edition, which works out at around $67 in the US thanks to current exchange rates.If the pricing was reversed, those playing in the UK could have got Oblivion's fantastic remaster for under 40 quid - boo, we say, boo!‌Still, at least Game Pass makes it a tad more affordable for many.As one commenter put it, "This definitely was not just some quick 'paint and move on remaster'""So far for me it’s such a rich remaster it might as well be a remake. It’s refreshed but it is absolutely still Oblivion to its core. Well done I say!!!"Article continues belowCouldn't have said it better ourselves.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌
