Digital Foundry reports Oblivion Remastered remains in a poor state a year after launch, with hitching, crashes, sub-60fps dips and memory-leak-driven frame-rate degradation across platforms; there has been no major patch since July 2025, leaving some players finding it barely playable despite mixed Xbox Store reviews, and a Switch 2 release could spur updates.
