The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered physical Deluxe Edition is priced 33% lower than its digital version, surprising many fans. There had been rumors hinting at an unusual marketing strategy for the physical launch of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, but that hasn’t made the confirmed prices any less shocking for many fans of the title.
When Bethesda’s Oblivion Remastered unexpectedly launched in April 2025, it quickly topped sales charts across most platforms. It even became one of the most popular games on PlayStation 5, marking a success for its Microsoft-backed developer. Despite its financial success, Oblivion Remastered now appears to be adopting deep-discounting strategies ahead of its re-release on certain platforms.
Oblivion Remastered's Physical Deluxe Edition Costs $40
The physical Deluxe Edition of Oblivion Remastered is now available for pre-order and will release on October 13, priced at a surprising $40 USD across all retailers. Fans should note that the game’s digital base edition, which lacks any deluxe features, is priced at $50, making the physical deluxe version the better value. Such pricing is quite unusual in the gaming industry, yet Bethesda Softworks has implemented it just six months after Oblivion Remastered‘s launch.

Those who closely follow Bethesda Softworks likely recall a rumor that emerged in late September about Oblivion Remastered‘s physical re-release. An insider revealed the surprisingly low price of the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S discs and claimed that the PlayStation discs would require no additional download, while the Xbox discs would not include the full game. At the time, many dismissed these rumors as unlikely. Now, with the official price confirmed on September 29, it turns out the discs are being sold at one of the lowest prices the remake has seen since its launch.
Reports indicate that some retailers have been accepting preorders for the Oblivion Remastered deluxe edition discs since July 2025. If true, those stores may now need to refund customers, as they likely charged $60 USD instead of the new $40 price. It is also worth noting that both the standard and deluxe digital editions of the game are currently discounted as part of Steam’s Autumn Sale. However, it remains unclear whether the $40 USD price will also apply to the digital Deluxe Edition in the future, or if the physical discs will continue to be the cheapest option.
