In the recent launch of Oblivion Remastered, players report significant framerate issues, causing frustration across gaming forums. Many find the game's framerate locked at 30 FPS, with some doubting it actually hits that mark consistently, even with available performance modes on consoles and PCs.

User Feedback: Mixed Reactions

Players are sharing their experiences on various user boards, highlighting a variety of performance issues. One player expressed, "Iโ€™ve been playing Oblivion remastered for the past 3 hours. It's fun, but the framerate seems locked at 30. It's pretty noticeable."

A new comment added, "Itโ€™s not a buttery smooth 30 by any stretch Iโ€™d wager it rarely ever hits 30. Especially outside." Another player pointed out the challenges on different platforms: "It's a hefty Unreal Engine 5 game, and youโ€™re playing on the Series S. On PS5 Pro, it even has frequent, noticeable dips in performance. What else do you expect?"

Console Performance Highlights

  • PS5 Performance Mode: Frequent framerate dips reported by users during gameplay.

  • PC Users: Those with advanced graphics cards like the RTX 5080 are expressing frustration over subpar performance.

"Avoid all games running on Unreal Engine 5 on Series S!" noted one participant, indicating broader concerns about engine stability across various platforms.

Community Sentiment

The reception is varied. While some enjoy the enhanced graphics, others are disappointed with performance. As one player put it, "Oblivion should play fine at 30 FPS; itโ€™s not a super fast game."

Interestingly, some gamers are holding out for future patches, with expectations for improvements. "Theyโ€™ll probably make updates to help with optimization," predicted another.
