The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 on August 11, featuring a complete physical cartridge release and full DLSS support.
By Azura, the hero of Kvatch is finally heading to Nintendo's next generation hardware. According to a fresh report from Eurogamer, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is officially launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on August 11. Developer Virtuos is bringing the massive Cyrodiil adventure to portable hardware using Unreal Engine 5, carrying a price tag of $49.99 for the standard edition and $59.99 for the deluxe version. The deluxe package includes unique new quests, extra armor sets, and weapons on top of the base game and its classic expansions.
In a massive win for physical collectors and digital ownership advocates, publisher Bethesda has confirmed that the physical release will contain the entire game directly on the cartridge. Players will not have to deal with annoying digital download codes or game key cards that plague so many modern platform ports. The technical targets are also locked in for the demanding port, aiming for 900p at 30 frames per second in handheld mode and 1080p at 30 frames per second when docked, complete with DLSS upscaling support.
Beyond basic performance metrics, the Switch 2 version is shaping up to be a feature complete release with motion controls, touch screen support, and mouse mode all confirmed. While some players still harbor lingering questions regarding optimization given the game's previous performance patches on other systems, the prospect of taking a fully realized Cyrodiil on the go with a proper cartridge is hard to resist. Pre-orders are currently live on the Nintendo eShop ahead of the August launch date.
