The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster Leaks Spark Excitement Among Fans

2025-04-21 17:00:24

The gaming world is abuzz with rumors about The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster after multiple reports surfaced of the game appearing in users' libraries on Boosteroid, a cloud gaming service connected to Steam. These sightings add credibility to earlier leaks that hinted at an imminent release for the long-anticipated remaster. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster first appeared in public consciousness when developer Virtuos accidentally published what appeared to be official screenshots on their website.

The leaked Oblivion Remaster images quickly spread across gaming forums and social media, impressing fans with their enhanced visuals. While Bethesda has maintained its characteristic silence, an interesting development occurred when a fan reportedly received confirmation from Xbox customer support that the game exists, will support cloud gaming, be available through Xbox Game Pass, and is scheduled for release on April 21, 2025.

Another piece of evidence supporting the Oblivion Remaster rumors comes from Boosteroid users who have reported seeing the game in their libraries. Boosteroid's platform supports both Steam and Xbox Game Pass titles through cloud gaming. If these reports are accurate, subscribers with Xbox Game Pass PC or Ultimate may have gotten an early glimpse because the game is preparing to join the service. This suggests Boosteroid might have unintentionally revealed the game before its official announcement.

Dedicated fans on Reddit have traced the mysterious Oblivion Remaster listing on Boosteroid to SteamDB. The app ID in question (2623190) currently shows as an "Unknown App" but is widely believed to be the remaster. According to SteamDB records, this app was added on September 26, 2023, and received its most recent update on April 17, 2025. With mounting evidence from multiple sources, the gaming community increasingly believes the Oblivion Remaster is genuine, with speculation focusing on an April 21 or 22 release date.

While most Elder Scrolls fans are thrilled by these developments, some view the Oblivion Remaster as potentially problematic. They worry that Bethesda's focus on the remaster could delay the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls 6, especially given the studio's history of working with limited resources. However, Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda may have changed this dynamic, with many hoping the studio now has the capacity to handle multiple major projects simultaneously without compromising quality or timelines.
