The long-anticipated remaster of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion just took a massive step closer to reality—literally. A new leak suggests the Oblivion Remastered file size could come in at a staggering 120GB, raising eyebrows across the gaming community.
Massive Leak Points to Massive Download

While Bethesda has yet to officially announce the remaster, this is the latest in a string of clues pointing to its imminent release.
A 26x Increase Over the Original
For perspective, the original Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition, including Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions, weighed in at just 4.6GB. If the new remaster truly requires 120GB, that makes it more than 26 times larger than the original release.
This huge size strongly suggests full graphical overhauls, modern rendering techniques, high-fidelity audio, and possibly even additional content.
All DLC Likely Included
Earlier rumors hinted that the remastered edition will ship with all original DLC included—and this massive file size makes that even more believable. Fans can likely expect a complete package featuring upgraded versions of Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles, and more.
What It Means for Players
If the leak is accurate, players may need to prepare their rigs for the remaster:
-
💾 Storage: At least 120GB of free space
-
🔊 Audio & Graphics: Expect high-res textures and reworked sound
-
🔧 System Requirements: Likely to demand a modern GPU and SSD
This leak puts Oblivion Remastered in line with other massive next-gen titles, both in scale and storage.
No Official Word – Yet
Despite the excitement, Bethesda has made no official announcement regarding Oblivion Remastered. Still, the mounting evidence makes it feel more like a “when,” not an “if.”
