The beloved Skyrim Grandma, Shirley Curry, has made a welcome return to the gaming scene—but this time, she’s exploring a different chapter in the Elder Scrolls saga. After an apparent retirement in 2024, the 89-year-old YouTube sensation has started streaming The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, sharing her first impressions and gameplay experiences with her dedicated fanbase.
A New Adventure in Cyrodiil
Known for her warm personality and deep passion for gaming, Shirley began her journey in 2015 with Skyrim gameplay videos that quickly earned her over 1.3 million subscribers. Now, with Oblivion Remastered gaining traction as one of the most successful RPGs of 2025, Shirley has decided to dive into this classic world once again.
In her first video, titled “Oblivion Remastered #1 Learning,” Skyrim Grandma cautiously steps out of the jail in Cyrodiil, taking her time to explore the game’s controls and mechanics. Her curiosity and patience resonate with viewers, many of whom are eager to guide her through the nostalgic yet refreshed world.
Fans Rally to Support the Grandma
Shirley’s second video, “Oblivion Remastered #2 Still Learning,” features her navigating a rat- and goblin-infested cave, where she tests her combat skills and survival tactics. As always, the community has been enthusiastic and supportive, offering tips on lockpicking, resting, and even how to effectively use the Clairvoyance spell to track quest objectives.
This interaction underlines Shirley’s unique place in gaming culture—a beloved figure whose openness to learning and willingness to embrace new challenges continues to inspire fans of all ages.
The Legacy of Skyrim Grandma
Beyond her gameplay, Shirley Curry’s influence runs deep. Her charisma led Bethesda to immortalize her as a character in the upcoming The Elder Scrolls 6, further cementing her status as a gaming icon. While the release date for Elder Scrolls 6 remains a mystery, fans are thrilled to see her continue exploring the franchise in the meantime.
For those who followed her Skyrim journeys, seeing Skyrim Grandma embrace Oblivion Remastered is both a nostalgic return and an exciting new chapter. If her first videos are any indication, this comeback will be filled with the same heartwarming enthusiasm that made her a beloved figure in the gaming community.
