The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered update finally lands - but gamers want more

An update for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remasteredhas finally been rolled out across all platforms - but some gamers are keen to see even more fixes delivered soon.

Oblivion Remastered is the third best selling game of 2025 in the US, trailing only Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows. It was developed by Virtuos and published by Bethesda.

However after launch, it quickly became clear there were a number of bugs, glitches and performance issues within the game, so much so that tech experts called for an immediate patch to fix some of the most glaring issues as news on updates was scarce.

But after a Steam Beta test, an update has now been rolled out across all platforms the game is available on focusing on fixes. Bethesda has said it will be addressing performance issues in a future update.

On a Reddit thread sharing the latest patch notes from this, some gamers have said they want to see more though.

One commented: "I wish they would fix the menu equipment unequipped glitch... It's such a minor thing but I have hyperfixated on it."

"I hope they fix the x1 damage while sneaking glitch," another said. "Really annoying as an archer."

"They need to address the whole height glitch thing," one comment said. "Playing as a high elf and getting paralysed causes you to get even taller and can prevent you from going to certain areas. Only way to revert is to exit the game and reload. Reloading the save before closing doesn't even work."

A fourth pleaded: "I'm going to complain about this every time but please fix the Mannimarco glitch."

"I know it's cosmetic but I'd like a fix for my character having a different hair colour every time I start the game," a fifth said.

However the update has been well received by others.

One user said: "Getting to the interior map immediately is a well needed fix for me."

"That map fix is game changing for me," another agreed. "I hated that c**p, having to zoom all the way in each time lol. And finally 'STORM THE COURTYARD' will update.

A third commented: "The potion crash made it so hard to make a bunch to sell without quicksaving every other minute. Super happy that got addressed!"
