Bethesda has recently lowered the price of two of the bestElder Scrollsgames,OblivionandMorrowind.The Elder Scrollshas exploded in popularity once again with the release ofOblivion Remastered, and it seems that Bethesda wants to capitalize on this success.
Released in 1994 for PC,The Elder Scrolls: Arenawas the first mainline game in the series, followed byDaggerfallin 1996. WhileDaggerfallhad a huge procedurally generated world, 2002’sMorrowindfollowed the opposite path, creating an incredibly detailed version of the island of Vvardenfell in Morrowind, in what is widely considered one ofthe bestElder Scrollsgames. In 2006,The Elder Scrollsexploded in popularity withOblivion, and the franchise grew even more withSkyrim, which has sold over 60 million units.
Now, Bethesda has decreased the price of the original Xbox’sThe Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowindand the Xbox 360’sThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivionfrom $15 to $10. These do not seem to be temporary discounts, as they appear as full price on the pages of both games, as well as third-party pages likeXBDeals. Also, both games have been on sale for as low as $3 or $4 previously, which also gives some weight to the theory that these are not time-limited discounts.
The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Oblivion’s New Prices
It’s likely that this change could be due to the renewed interest in the franchise due toOblivion Remastered’s recent launch. Reports indicate thatOblivion Remasteredis already outdoing the original, selling more units in April 2025 than the original sold in a whole year.
Despite the huge success ofOblivion Remastered,many gamers are returning toSkyrim. Earlier this week, for example,Skyrimhad a higher peak player count thanOblivion Remastered, demonstrating that gamers are still interested in playing the classic titles after experiencing this revamped entry in the popular franchise. These new discounts are likely a great opportunity for fans who want to exploreMorrowindor compare the newOblivion Remasteredto the original.
Unfortunately,The Elder Scrolls 6still does not have a release date. It’s been over 2,500 days since the game was announced on July 24, 2025, and fans are still awaiting more information about the upcoming title. While there are many rumors aboutTES 6, including that the story will be set in Hammerfell, not much is known about it, so gamers have to wait until Bethesda confirms more details, which will hopefully happen sooner rather than later.
