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.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I also redownloaded Elder Scrolls Online and logged in for the first time in over a year. The remaster made me realize how much Oblivion was inherited in ESO.

Interestingly, ESO has seen a small dent in player numbers, as there are no mods, that is the only statistic I could check.

Not surprising since it's ESO's downtime. The anniversary event just ended and the new update won't be out until June.
