Xbox Series X Performance
Resolution: 4K

Load Times: Basically non-existent compared to the original—blink and you’re in.
Visuals: Maxed-out settings with all the fancy lighting, shadows, and weather effects looking sharp.
Best For: Players who want the full "modern RPG" feel while still closing Oblivion gates like it’s 2006.
Xbox Series S Performance
Resolution: 1440p (upscaled to 4K)
Frame Rate: Mostly 60 FPS, but expect occasional dips in busy areas or during chaotic weather.
Visuals: Slightly toned down textures and effects, but still a huge upgrade over the original.
Best For: Players happy to trade a little graphical polish for budget-friendly gaming.
PlayStation 5 Performance
Resolution: 4K
Frame Rate: Steady 60 FPS, just like Series X
Load Times: Fast travel actually feels fast now.
Visuals: Same high-end experience as Xbox Series X—no console wars needed here.
Bonus: Full Trophy support, since PS3 players never got that luxury.
Quality of Life and Performance Perks
Autosaves – Frequent enough to save you from rage-quitting after a random troll ambush.
Improved UI – Menus won’t make you feel like you’re using a 2006 flip phone.
Revised Cameras – Both first and third-person modes feel smoother, especially on big screens.
Performance Mode vs. Quality Mode?
As of now, there’s no word on separate Performance or Quality modes—you get a balanced setup aiming for 4K at 60 FPS by default. And honestly, it works.
Final Blurb
Oblivion Remastered runs like a dream on both Xbox Series X|S and PS5. If you were worried about Unreal Engine 5 turning your console into a space heater, don’t be.
