Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers get a sweet deal - they can play Oblivion Remastered on both Xbox and PC at no extra cost. This is a big win for Game Pass users, thanks to Microsoft's ownership of Bethesda.
For PC gamers, Oblivion Remastered is available on Steam and the Windows Store. You might find some discounts on sites like Instant Gaming. Keep in mind, the game is pretty hefty at around 120. 94 GB, so make sure you have enough storage space.
The remastered version of Oblivion looks stunning, thanks to the Unreal Engine 5. It offers enhanced graphics, realistic lighting, and detailed character models. The gameplay has also been modernized. Combat is more like the Souls series, with refined archery and stealth mechanics. The game includes all the original DLCs, so you won't miss out on any content.
