The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered - A Massive 120GB Upgrade
2025-04-21 22:23:42The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered continues to generate excitement as new leaks reveal its potentially massive 120GB storage requirement. Although Bethesda remains silent about the official announcement, the gaming community has been buzzing with anticipation for this enhanced version of the beloved RPG classic.
Recent weeks have seen a flood of Oblivion Remastered leaks. After official-looking images surfaced confirming the project's existence, an Xbox Support page potentially revealed the April 21, 2025 release date. While the game hasn't launched at the time of writing, players might want to prepare their storage space if these rumors prove accurate.
Leaker X0XLEAK recently took to social media claiming that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered will require a staggering 120GB download. Supporting evidence includes a screenshot of a datamined Steam listing showing a precise 120.94GB file size. Previous rumors indicated that Oblivion Remastered might include all original DLC content, which would explain the significant storage requirement. For comparison, the 2007 Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition with all expansions occupied merely 4.6GB - making the remaster potentially 26 times larger than its predecessor.
While 120GB isn't unprecedented in modern gaming, it's certainly noteworthy. This would place the Oblivion remaster above many current RPGs in terms of storage requirements. For instance, Obsidian's Avowed requires about 75GB, while Mass Effect: Legendary Edition (containing three complete games and over 40 DLCs) totals 110GB - still 10GB less than the rumored Oblivion remaster.
Such a substantial file size suggests significant graphical improvements and possibly expanded content. Excitingly, some Steam users report that Oblivion Remastered already appears in their libraries, with various leaks pointing to an imminent release.
