PS5 vs PC: Which Oblivion Remastered Version Reigns Supreme?

The much-anticipated remastered version of Oblivion, which had been a hot topic in the gaming world for quite some time due to numerous leaks, finally hit the market. However, there was some uncertainty about whether it would be playable on the PlayStation 5 or the rumored Switch 2 before its release. Fortunately, we now have an answer regarding this game’s compatibility with one of these platforms.

The re-mastered version of “Oblivion” for the PS5 is now up for sale on the PlayStation Store, but there’s been no confirmation if it will appear on the Nintendo Switch 2. Curious Elder Scrolls enthusiasts might also wonder if the remastered game will be offered through services like PlayStation Plus or Game Pass, and which platform would provide the optimal experience.

All Platforms for Oblivion Remastered

From where I stand as a passionate gamer, at its debut, the remastered version of Oblivion is all set to roll out on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series consoles. As of now, there’s no clear announcement about its potential release on the Switch 2. Given that Nintendo’s latest console isn’t hitting shelves for another month or so, gamers like me who are eagerly waiting to dive into Oblivion Remastered might find themselves in a dilemma, wanting to hold off on finding out whether it will be coming to the Switch 2 or not.

Is Oblivion Remastered on Game Pass or PlayStation Plus?

At launch, you can find “Oblivion Remastered” on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Unfortunately, it’s not included in PlayStation Plus, and given the history, it seems very unlikely that it will be added to the service any time soon. To put it simply, no Microsoft game has ever been offered on PlayStation Plus, so the possibility of “Oblivion Remastered” being made available is quite remote.

Should You Buy Oblivion Remastered on PlayStation or PC?

While Oblivion Remastered doesn’t offer official mod support at its release, this might not be the case indefinitely. Already, unofficial mods are appearing on platforms like Nexus, making the PC version advantageous in this regard. Moreover, the PC port provides superior graphics and performance potential, although those with older gaming rigs may find the PS5 version runs more smoothly due to console optimization ease. In summary, if you have a powerful gaming setup or prioritize mod support, opt for Oblivion Remastered on PC. If your PC is nearing the minimum system requirements, you might want to consider playing it on PS5 or Xbox instead.
