Oblivion: Remastered gets huge performance boost via this download

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered can be extended via a free download that gives the RPG a huge performance boost, and you can download it now.

Hands down, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is my favourite game in the ever-popular Bethesda RPG series, even more so than the beloved Skyrim. That being said, you won't see me turning down any adventures in the lands of Tamriel regardless of the game.

Following tons of leaks and rumours, Bethesda dropped The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered last week on 22 April 2025, sending fans across social media into a frenzy. What’s more, it was dropped on Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost.

“The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered modernises the 2006 Game of the Year with all-new stunning visuals and refined gameplay,” reads the synopsis of the game. “Explore the vast landscape of Cyrodiil like never before and stop the forces of Oblivion from overtaking the land in one of the greatest RPGs ever from the award-winning Bethesda Game Studios.”

To no surprise whatsoever, pretty much as soon as the Oblivion remaster was released, modders instantly got to work creating free downloads to help improve what is already a fantastic game.

As reported by DSOGaming, one such new mod gives the official remaster on PC a huge performance boost. Created by P40L0, ‘Ultimate Engine Tweaks’ is available to download right now for free via NexusMods.

In a nutshell, this mod allows Oblivion Remastered to perform better than ever resulting in a much smoother and more enjoyable experience for Cyrodiil adventurers. It also removes the film grain, making it look a bit more crisp to boot.

Unfortunately, as is the nature of most mods, this particular mod is a PC exclusive and is currently not available on consoles.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is out now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
