The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered launched just two days before Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but both games have managed to thrive in their own ways.

It has also become the third best-selling title of 2025 so far, trailing behind major hits like Monster Hunter Wilds and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

In a recent post on Reddit, DrChimz posted several screenshots, claiming that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered desperately needs a photo mode. Many fans were in agreement, and commented on just how stunning DrChimz's screenshots looked, even without a photo mode. The main issue is that players would like some way to remove the HUD from the game entirely and use a free-floating camera to capture scenery and dramatic moments. As of writing, that simply isn't possible, though players are still managing to capture the title's impressive visuals in their own way.

Some people added that they want to see a similar feature added for Oblivion Gates on the map, as it's currently difficult to tell which ones have been completed.
