If, like me, you lost a good chunk of your life to Cyrodiil back in the day, this one is for you. Bethesda have confirmed that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, and will arrive on the 11th of August 2026.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was released in 2006, and for a lot of us it was the game that made an open world feel properly alive. Wander off the road, get distracted for three hours, forget what you were even meant to be doing.
The remaster was a bit of a surprise last year, no one expected it. Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 and given a proper lick of paint, it was a decent and welcome addition. Now the whole thing is heading to the Switch 2, so you can play on the go.
Digital and a physical cartridge
There is a digital and a physical Deluxe Edition. On the cartridge you get the base game plus both expansions, Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, along with all eight of the smaller DLC packs, including the famous Horse Armor Pack that started the whole paid-extras conversation twenty years ago.
The Deluxe Edition also throws in digital codes for the Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon armour sets. There is a standard version too, digital only.
How it runs, and where to get it
Nintendo are leaning on DLSS to keep things smooth, with the game running at 900p and 30 frames a second in handheld mode, and 1080p at 30 docked. It had a slightly bumpy launch on other platforms last year, so let's see how this version holds up, but the Switch 2 has more than enough under the hood to cope.
The Deluxe Edition is priced at £49.99 on digital and £56.96 for the physical version, and is up for pre-order now. You can grab it from the Nintendo store or Amazon, and the full announcement is over on Bethesda's site.
A hundred-hour RPG that fits in your bag, with everything in one package. The gates of Oblivion opening on a Nintendo handheld is not something I had on my list, but looking forward to it.
