Oblivion Remaster Still Behind Assassin’s Creed Shadows in Sales

Some consider Assassin’s Creed Shadows to be the silver bullet that Ubisoft needed to survive in the gaming scene. It might indeed be true. As of now, it has been reported that the title remains at the top of the chart in terms of sales. Who would have thought that?

But don’t get your fancy celebratory pants just yet if you are looking forward to Ubisoft’s success. The sales numbers have been tallied throughout the two-month ******* after the “AAAA” release.

In comparison, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is slowly climbing the charts too. Only after a week of its release, it has sneaked into the third position in terms of total sales. Will Bethesda take the lead this week?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be leading the marathon, but Oblivion Remaster is speeding up

that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is still holding the top spot of best-selling games of 2025 in the US. Mat also mentioned that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is the best-selling game of the week.

This was enough to make Oblivion Remaster the third-best-selling game of 2025, right after Monster Hunter: Wilds and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. With numbers skyrocketing only after a week, in a month, it might just claim the top spot.

Additionally, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster didn’t have a physical copy release, which could have boosted the sales further. What’s done is done, but give Oblivion Remaster a break here, it’s just been a couple of weeks.

Xbox released two of its massive sellers almost together, which has caused massive commotion (in a good way). Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was released only two days after the shadow drop of Oblivion Remaster. As both games are doing great in the gaming scene, consumers are getting confused over which one to buy.

Gamers are not missing a chance to look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ downfall, though. From watching the success of ex-Ubisoft devs in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to having a remaster of a 20-year-old game being more successful than their release, things still look dire for Ubisoft. Maybe someday they will rise to glory once again.

Will Assassin’s Creed Shadows manage to survive in the battlefield of the gaming market?

Judging from the sales rate, AC Shadows is rising more slowly than its competitors. Moreover, it’s not a commercial success just yet, as they need to sell 7.1 million copies to raise $350 million, the predicted initial budget for the game (via

).

Ubisoft hasn’t revealed how many copies it has sold exactly at the time of writing (except for the 2 million players post back in March, which include Ubisoft+ players), so it can’t be said if it is a success yet. With more games coming in the future, the odds will surely decrease for it to get bulk sales.

On the contrary, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ended up being a success by selling over one million copies. Additionally, the game was only priced at $50, compared to others costing $70. Which has also put up the question, if indie dev studios can do it, why not the top-dogs?

The same type of analytics cannot be provided for Oblivion Remaster, as Bethesda hasn’t revealed how much it took to make.

that Oblivion has sold around 2 million copies (and many more if you count Game Pass), which should add up to make a revenue of $100 million. Whether that’s a success or not, it can’t be said for sure.
