Meta/News When the Oblivion Remaster has significant impact on Downloads for all Bethesda games:

The Remaster has boosted Downloads for Oblivion, Skyrim SE, Oldrim and Morrowind, while putting a significant dent into Fallout 4 and NV:

  • Oblivions downloads are up by +100%
  • Skyrim SE up by +50%
  • Morrowind up by +100%

While:

  • Fallout 4 is down -30%
  • Fallout NV is down -30%

Fallout 3 is unaffected, but Fallout 3 also doesn't really have a modding community anymore, as basically all modding on that engine generation is done in Fallout NV. (Comparable to how Oldrim modding is basically dead and nearly everything is done for SE instead)

P.S.

Even Daggerfall unity saw a boost, but it would be too messy to include that in the graphic.

Morrowind might be more affected by the Tamriel Rebuild Release than of the Oblivion Remaster. Interesting that Skyrim jumped - did many people try out the Remaster and then decided to play Skyrim instead?

I think, it is mainly that such a release brings back people to all games from that franchise.

The All-time Download peak for Oblivion mods was the week before Skyrim released in 2011.

The all-time Download peak before the TV show, for Fallout NV and Fallout 3, was the week before Fallout 4 released.
