Left and right, mods are starting to pop up, and players are finding that some of the game's original Easter Eggs are still in the remaster, with some added enhancements. In other words, it's a grand time, and, according to some recent statistics, people aren't just playing Oblivion Remastered, as other TES titles are getting a boost in popularity.

The Elder Scrolls Continues To Be One Of Gaming's Biggest Franchises

As first reported by TrueAchievements, it appears that other non-Oblivion Remastered titles are enjoying a nice little bump in popularity, specifically on Xbox consoles.

According to their data, which apparently samples over three million Xbox accounts, Skyrim Special Edition has seen an increase of 26 percent on Xbox. The standard version of Skyrim has similarly been a popular title, with an increase of 28 percent in players.

Elsewhere, Morrowind has also seen a nice bump, though it's not significant enough to be reported on. As for The Elder Scrolls Online, that title has seen a 5 percent increase in players since Oblivion Remastered.

What's more, even though Oblivion Remastered is available to those who subscribe to Game Pass, it appears that interest in the original version of the game hasn't waned. Rather, it's increased. The old school title has apparently seen a whopping 113 percent increase in player count, which is up from the 85 percent it experienced in the leadup to the remaster's reveal. In other words, it's Bethesda's world, and we're just living in it.
