The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Available Now
No Official Mod Support for Oblivion Remastered
Bethesda recently concluded its official showcase for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered during a livestream event, simultaneously announcing the game's immediate availability. Developers highlighted significant visual and technical improvements over the original 2006 release. However, one notable absence left fans disappointed - official mod support.
Bethesda's support documentation confirms the remaster won't include official modding tools. This decision comes as a surprise, considering the company's history of supporting modders through Creation Kit releases for titles like Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield. The community had anticipated similar tools for this highly anticipated remaster.
Resourceful modders have already begun adapting existing Creation Kit workarounds to the Unreal Engine 5-powered remaster. Reddit's modding community actively shares techniques for implementing modifications despite the lack of official support, with many reporting successful early implementation of existing mods.
Community-Driven VR Implementation
In another display of community ingenuity, dedicated fans achieved functional VR compatibility just three hours post-launch using the Universal Unreal Engine VR (UEVR) mod. YouTuber LunchAndVR demonstrated preliminary VR gameplay with motion controls, showcasing the project's potential despite its experimental status.
The test setup - featuring an RTX 4090, i9-13900 processor, and 64GB RAM - maintained 70 FPS at medium settings with DLSS enabled. These results suggest the remaster could become fully VR-compatible with additional optimization.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is currently available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (including Xbox Game Pass), and PC platforms. For ongoing updates about the game's development and community modifications, follow our continued coverage.
