The original Game of the Year Edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on GOG has been added to the Preservation Program and received an update on October 15, adding modern controller support. The title receiving maintenance is the original 2006 release, not The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered scheduled for 2025.
This update supports connecting controllers while the game is running, adds language options, improves stability, and fixes several issues. The GOG Preservation Program includes a commitment to ongoing maintenance of the game and future system compatibility.
Early user feedback indicates that the game runs more smoothly after the update. One comment mentioned potential issues with mods, but no other players have confirmed this so far.
To coincide with this update, GOG has reduced the price of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition from $20 to $5, a 75% discount that runs until October 26.
