The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered buying guide — Which version of the game is right for you?
There's different versions of Bethesda Game Studios' remastered adventure in Cyrodiil, so be sure to find the right one for you.

Bethesda Game Studios and Virtuos have worked to bring world of Cyrodiil back to modern platforms, and The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is now available.
This new version of the game includes improved graphics and quality-of-life features, but there's more than one version of the game. Here's what you need to know about each edition for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered and what's included.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered — Edition differences
There are two main versions of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 that launched suddenly after being announced on April 22. There's also an upgrade pack that's worth mentioning.
The Standard Edition of the game is $50 USD. This includes all the older downloadable content (DLC) for Oblivion, including the various content packs and the two expansions, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles.
The Deluxe Edition of the game is $60 USD. That extra $10 nets you some unique weapon and armor skins, alongside two new horse armors, with a couple of short new quests tied to said armors. Here's the full list of everything bundled into the Deluxe Edition:
- Digital base game
- New quests for unique digital Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon Armors, Weapons, and Horse Armor Sets
- Digital Artbook and Soundtrack App
Finally, there's the Deluxe Edition Upgrade. For $10 USD, this includes all the extras in the Deluxe Edition, but not the base game itself. This is primarily intended for any players that initially buy the Standard Edition before later realizing they'd also like to have the Deluxe Edition content.
