Oblivion Remake Will Be Hard On Discs

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake has been on the agenda with leaks for a long time. Although Bethesda has still not made an official statement, new information has provided important details about the game’s storage requirements. The production, developed with Unreal Engine 5, seems to pay the price of modern graphics with SSD space. The technology difference since the original version in 2006 is clearly reflected in gigabytes.

Oblivion Remake File Size Is Not Surprising

According to the information revealed by the data mining group XoXLeak, Oblivion Remake comes with a 121 GB file size. While this figure is particularly challenging for Xbox users, it may mean that console owners with limited SSD space will have to say goodbye to other games. In comparison, the original Oblivion took up only 5 GB of space. Technology has skyrocketed in the 18 years since then, but so has the file size.

The fact that the game is being developed with Unreal Engine 5 explains this huge size. Factors such as next-generation lighting systems, detailed environment designs and high-resolution textures rebuild the classic world of Tamriel with modern graphics. However, the storage cost of this visual feast is not light at all.

One of the most curious parts is the pricing. Bethesda is expected to make a surprise announcement today, and it is said that the game will be released for around $ 40. This price tag can be considered reasonable for both nostalgic fans and players who will experience it for the first time. It is also among the possibilities that it will be accessible through Xbox Game Pass.

Although we have not seen an official trailer or announcement yet, successive leaks clearly show that Oblivion Remake is very close. It seems that returning to Tamriel will require not only a powerful system, but also plenty of free space.
