[Holammer]

70k players on Steam now. Not bad for a Tuesday release.
Gamepass defenders in tears.

 

[Fess]

Imagine the total player count for all stores…
The PR numbers for this is going to be legendary!

 

[Little Chicken]

Doing South of Midnight numbers with a shadow drop is very impressive. Not very surprising considering how popular 14-year-old Skyrim still is on Steam.

 

[Jigsaah]

Mass call-offs at work going on I bet. Epidemic of the sniffles apparent.

 

[PeteBull]

Oblivion remaster looking proper with dat rising ccu be like:

 

[Treasure Hunter]

I will add a +1 to the ccu when they release a physical box for pc with steelbook, artbook and metal coin.

 

[adamsapple]

Goodbye, rest of the work week.

 

[VGA-Games]

Awesome!

I really hope it's coming to the Nintendo Switch 2

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

In general I think they are still, but Oblivion will likely be the exception due to the nostalgia and brand recognition.

Yep the Elder Scroll is already the best fantasy game franchise and Skyrim also made it the biggest game fantasy franchise so even though this ain't no Elder Scrolls VI but a remake of a old game Elder Scroll game would still be extremely huge no matter what.

 

[KyoZz]

Just got out of the sewer and so far I LOVE IT. But damn it's an heavy boy. Getting 70/80fps in the open world, maxed out with FG/DLAA.

Edit: this is with a 4090/13700K/32GB DDR5, also it seems a bit better after a relaunch.

 

[Holammer]

Any guesses for the Tuesday CCU? I'll go high with a 280k.
Probably a lot of people installing it as we speak.

 

[Sybrix]

Probably a lot of people installing it as we speak.

Me!

 

[Dalbajobas]

Surely with this success they will tackle Skyrim next and hopefully fingers crossed the Fallout series.

Let's not do this stupid shit

Who would have thought that a game with 20 years fanbase that it actually CLIMBED CCUs after the peak release on Steam among also the many other Elder scrolls CCU because its a huge fanbase, would jump on this. Who could have predicted?

How could Atomfall not get these CCUs? HMMM I wonder?

fallout 3

 

[Magic Carpet]

It's not fair, I'm stuck at work not able to watch any videos can only browse Neogaf on my phone and Neogaf is going super slow again.

 

[N0S]

Surely with this success they will tackle Skyrim next and hopefully fingers crossed the Fallout series.

Fallout 3 maybe. Skyrim been milked to death already

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I mean, when you give people something they want for a change.... yeah.

 

[Rivdoric]

Taking a look at the sales numbers despite this abysmally high price for a remaster i have to say it :

It
Just
Works

 

[Dalbajobas]

fallout 3

I wouldn't mind either F3, NV or even F4. I think it's safe to say gamers are thirsty for more Fallout. Fallout 5 would be better sure, but that's not coming any time soon.

 

[Punished Miku]

I guess that whole shadowdrop thing worked out okay.

 

[DarkstarRising13]

Bought on PS Store the moment it landed (I kept refreshing it until it appeared around 11:30am). I got the deluxe edition and downloaded it to my PS5 Pro. I knew it would shadow drop so before I went to work, I put it on rest mode so it can download it. Will be playing it immediately after I finish platinuming Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

125 Concords and climbing. It's unstoppable!

 

[Thyuda]

A zero marketing shadowdropped remaster that's also on console and gamepass handily beats all of the recent quadrouple A releases...

Really buts AC:Shadows and Co. into perspective.

What version of DLSS doe it have? I have the same system as you with the only difference being the ram size. Any OC's on you CPU and/or GPU? Thanks.

worked with hifi rush too maybe they should just keep shadow dropping shit.

 

[SappYoda]

Releasing games people want to play is all it took.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Back then when Bethesda were doing games gamers actually wanted. Well gamers still want Oblivion kind of games today.

I wonder why. What the main things those big games have in common? bad marketing for those big games? That must be it.

 

[Fbh]

Phil and the Xbox Marketing team getting ready to actually tweet about sales instead of engagement for once

 

[yazenov]

But But we where told games on Gamepass would bomb automatically and expect low CCU Steam numbers. That was supposed to be the narrative

 

[skyfinch]

Between this and South of Midnight, Microsoft is back, baby!

 

[DarkstarRising13]

Between this and South of Midnight, Microsoft is back, baby!

South of Midnight is woke af. DEI Detected by Kabrutus due to Sweet Baby Inc.'s involvement in the game's development. Why celebrate a Kim Blackmail self insert game?

 

[Topher]

Between this and South of Midnight, Microsoft is back, baby!

 

[Represent.]

Best marketing is the Nostalgia

Fixed. Shadow drops only work with certified IP.

GTA6 should shadow drop. Or like, Trailer 2, and release a week after.

 

[PeteBull]

over 98k ccu already, next update in few minutes gonna break magic 100k ccu

 

[Mortisfacio]

We're breaking 100k, boys! Bethesda needed this win.

 

[Fake]

Releasing games people want to play is all it took.

Crazy, isn't?

 

[yazenov]

Where are the usual suspects complaining that Steam CCU threads are irrelevant for games on Gamepass as well? I don't see anyone complaining now.

In fact, I see them celebrating this as a victory for MS. No need to mention names, you know who you are.

 

[PeteBull]

100416 and we still climbing =D

[Draugoth]

80% Positive Reviews

 

[GudOlRub]

Lmao at people being reminded of, or even just realising now how big The Elder Scrolls franchise really is.
Fallout always palled in comparison and that has also become pretty big so of course any new Elder Scrolls content would top charts left and right.

 

[Little Chicken]

TES VI is going to be huge.

 

[PeteBull]

80% Positive Reviews

Those 20% negative ones are game devs of woke games butthurt they got decimated by remake/remaster of 2006 game on gamepass

 

[Soodanim]

I wonder if this does anything for the OG's numbers. Having said that most people these days will be using Mod Organizer 2 so you won't see their activity on Steam's metrics. Maybe it will cause a resurgence in Oblivion's modding scene.

 

[Draugoth]

TES VI is going to be huge.

As long as they dont fumble it like Starfield

 

[pulicat]

This is what happened when they created something that's worth to be played.

Easy 10m units sold.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

800k CCU at the very least this weekend.
Book it.

 

[Stuart360]

As long as they dont fumble it like Starfield

Starfield was just too ambitious, especially for that engine. They tried something different and it didnt totally work out (Starfield still has some of the best side content they have done imo).

They know what they are doing with Elder Scrolls. One big map, filled with stuff to do.

 

[Kacho]

As long as they dont fumble it like Starfield

Yep. The RPG systems and progression are so important for long term immersion.
