Bethesda’s surprise re-release of Oblivion Remastered—developed by Virtuos—was April’s best-selling game, sneaking up on players and dominating sales. Microsoft also saw strong performance with its PlayStation ports, proving cross-platform releases are still a smart move.

Editor’s Note: Gamers clearly have a soft spot for polished nostalgia—Oblivion Remastered’s shadow-drop success shows remasters can still pack a punch when done right. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s multi-platform strategy is paying off, hinting that exclusivity might not be the golden ticket it once was. For players, it’s a win: more classics revived, more ways to play.
