The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered physical Deluxe Edition is priced 33% lower than its digital version, surprising many fans. There had been rumors hinting at an unusual marketing strategy for the physical launch of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, but that hasn't made the confirmed prices any less shocking for many fans of the title.
When Bethesda's Oblivion Remastered unexpectedly launched in April 2025, it quickly topped sales charts across most platforms. It even became one of the most popular games on PlayStation 5, marking a success for its Microsoft-backed developer. Despite its financial success, Oblivion Remastered now appears to be adopting deep-discounting strategies ahead of its re-release on certain platforms.
The physical Deluxe Edition of Oblivion Remastered is now available for pre-order and will release on October 13, priced at a surprising $40 USD across all retailers. Fans should note that the game's digital base edition, which lacks any deluxe features, is priced at $50, making the physical deluxe version the better value. Such pricing is quite unusual in the gaming industry, yet Bethesda Softworks has implemented it just six months after Oblivion Remastered's launch.
