Oblivion Remastered Gets Its First Update With A Whole Bunch Of Fixes

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been a hit out of the gate, but even Bethesda and developer Virtuos acknowledge that it isn't perfect. There are bugs and glitches in Oblivion Remastered just as there are in almost every video game upon release, particularly Bethesda games. Now, Betheda is sharing the first update for the game to address some of these issues.

Through the game's official Steam page, Bethesda laid out the contents of Oblivion Remastered's Update 1.1. This is the first of two separate updates that Bethesda plans to launch in the near future, although the second one doesn't have a date attached to it yet. Update 1.1 and its follow-up will be released on the Steam Beta first before being shared with Oblivion Remastered's console counterparts.

Update 1.1 is out today, June 5, on Oblivion Remastered's Steam Beta, and the wider rollout of the update will begin on June 11. The initial update is intended to tackle the major bugs that have come up, although some of the glitches addressed--including the disappearance of Vincente Valtieri's hair and High Chancellor Ocato's immobile arms--are unintentionally funny. The second planned update will concentrate on improving the game's performance. Bethesda didn't provide any details beyond that.

While the wait for The Elder Scrolls VI has been excruciating for some players, Oblivion Remastered has reminded others why they loved the franchise in the first place. Skyrim Grandma, aka Shirley Curry, even came out of her streaming retirement to try her hand at Oblivion Remastered. To date, Oblivion Remastered is the third-highest-selling game of the year, with only Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows ahead of it in the No. 1 and No. 2 slots.
