Oblivion Remastered Gets a Physical PS5 Edition This October

Fans of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered can look forward to a physical PS5 release in October 2025, as UK retailers have opened pre-orders for both the standard and deluxe editions. Following its digital launch in April, the remaster received strong praise from critics and fans alike, despite a few lingering technical hiccups. Now, the game’s physical edition offers another reason for longtime Elder Scrolls fans to revisit Cyrodiil.

Thanks to a thriving modding community and regular updates, Oblivion Remastered has maintained momentum. For Bethesda and Virtuos, the project’s success couldn’t have come at a better time, especially with The Elder Scrolls VI still deep in development. This remaster has not only reignited interest in Tamriel but also given Bethesda valuable insight into what players loved about the original 2006 release.

📦 Oblivion Remastered Physical Edition Details

Retailer The Game Collection has listed pre-orders for both editions of the game, with an October 2025 launch date. However, it’s still unclear whether the disc will contain the full game or require a substantial download—an issue seen in recent PS5 ports like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and DOOM: The Dark Ages, where physical copies contained minimal game data.

A recent update for Oblivion Remastered was rolled out by Bethesda and Virtuos, but it’s unknown whether this update will be included on the disc or need to be downloaded post-installation. Either way, for collectors and longtime fans, the physical release still offers value, even if it ends up requiring additional downloads.

🧭 What This Means for The Elder Scrolls Fans

While Oblivion Remastered has enjoyed success, many players have drifted back to Skyrim after completing the core content—highlighting how critical a strong modding ecosystem is to a game’s longevity. Although Oblivion Remastered has attracted modders, it doesn’t yet have the official support that titles like Skyrim benefit from.

For those looking for a different way to experience Cyrodiil, the highly anticipated Skyblivion mod—built within Skyrim’s engine—is expected to arrive by year’s end. Still, for players eager to add a piece of Tamriel to their shelf, Oblivion Remastered’s physical PS5 edition will be available in October 2025.
