Bethesda Confirms No Official Mod Support for Remaster

Bethesda recently unveiled The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered during a livestream, confirming its immediate availability. The developers highlighted significant upgrades over the original release. However, fans may be disappointed as the remaster does not support official modding.

According to Bethesda’s support page, Oblivion Remastered will not include official mod support. No explanation was provided, surprising many given Bethesda’s history of supporting modders with tools like Creation Kits for games such as Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield.

Despite this, dedicated fans are adapting by using the original game’s Creation Kit. Mods are currently functioning well with the remaster. On Reddit, modders are discussing their approaches to modding the remaster, now powered by Unreal Engine 5.

Oblivion Remastered in Virtual Reality

Despite the lack of official mod support, fans have explored Oblivion Remastered in VR using UEVR just hours after its release. UEVR is a tool that enables VR compatibility for games. YouTuber LunchAndVR shared a video showcasing early tests of Oblivion Remastered in VR with UEVR and motion controls.

The gameplay ran smoothly at 70 fps on medium settings with DLSS, using a GeForce RTX 4090, Intel Core i9-13900, and 64GB RAM. With further optimization, the remaster shows strong potential for VR performance.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (included with Xbox Game Pass), and PC. Stay updated with the latest game details in our article below!
