How it was received

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered holds a critic score of 84 out of 100. That places it above 81% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2025 averaged 78, so it scored 6 points above the year average. Players rate it 76, 8 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800K, 16 GB RAM and AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 125GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
