The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is finally here, ready to drag you back into Cyrodiil—this time with modern visuals and gameplay that doesn’t feel like it’s stuck in 2006. Whether you're new to Oblivion or returning for your 12th playthrough, you’ll notice there are two versions waiting for you at checkout.

Here’s a simple guide to help you pick between the Standard Edition, the Deluxe Edition, or just upgrading later if commitment isn't your thing.

Standard Edition – What You Get

If you just want the core adventure (and then some), the Standard Edition has you covered:

• Digital Base Game

• Shivering Isles Expansion

• Knights of the Nine Expansion

• Classic DLC packs:

  • Fighter’s Stronghold

  • Spell Tomes

  • Vile Lair

  • Mehrune’s Razor

  • The Thieves Den

  • Wizard’s Tower

  • The Orrery

  • Yes, Horse Armor Pack is back—because history repeats itself.

This is basically the full Oblivion experience, remastered and bundled with all the classic content.

Deluxe Edition – What’s Extra?

Feeling fancy? The Deluxe Edition adds a little more flair:

• Everything in the Standard Edition

• New Quests for exclusive Akatosh and Mehrunes Dagon armor, weapons, and—of course—horse armor sets

• A Digital Artbook

• A Soundtrack App to relive Jeremy Soule’s iconic music while pretending you're still adventuring

It’s for players who like extra content and digital collectibles they’ll probably open once.

Digital Deluxe Upgrade

Already bought the Standard Edition but getting FOMO? You can grab the Digital Deluxe Upgrade anytime:

• Adds the bonus quests, artbook, and soundtrack app

• Requires the base game (no shortcuts here)

Which Edition/Version of Oblivion Remastered Should You Get?

• Go Standard if you want the full remastered game with all the classic expansions and DLC—nothing more, nothing less.

• Go Deluxe if exclusive gear, bonus quests, and digital goodies sound like your kind of thing.

• Grab the Upgrade Later if you're undecided but know you’ll eventually want those Akatosh armor sets.

Final Blurb

Whether you choose Standard or Deluxe, you’re still getting one of the most iconic RPGs rebuilt for modern hardware. The difference? Deluxe gives you a shinier sword, a flashier horse, and some digital souvenirs.

Either way, you’ll still be dodging bandits and getting ambushed by Mud Crabs—just with better lighting this time.
