If you’re grabbing Oblivion Remastered through Xbox Game Pass, you’re getting the full main game plus both major expansions — Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine. It's the same content you'd get with a direct $50 purchase.

However, those eyeing the Deluxe Edition — worth $60 — won't get all the included goodies in the Game Pass. The Deluxe Edition includes some additional collector and fan-service bonuses like:

Mehrune’s Razor
Fighter's Stronghold
The Vile Lair
The Thieves Den
Spell Tome Treasures
Orrery
Wizard’s Tower
And the iconic Horse Armor pack (Two variants.

You’ll also get a digital artbook and a soundtrack launcher with the Deluxe upgrade. But again, not included in Game Pass.

The remaster isn’t just some basic HD patch. Bethesda and Virtuos went all-in, layering Unreal Engine 5 visuals on top of the original Gamebryo engine. That means you’re still playing the classic Oblivion, but with environments that look like they belong on modern consoles.

Everything’s sharper — from the shine on Daedric Armor to the way sunlight cuts through the forests outside Skingrad. It’s a remaster that respects its roots while dragging the world of Tamriel into the present day.

Where can you play it?

Right now, Oblivion Remastered is fully available on:

Xbox Series X|S
Windows PC
PlayStation 5

But Xbox Game Pass users are getting the best deal, with the game available immediately as part of the subscription. No need to buy anything separately unless you want the Deluxe content.
