Bethesda

Bethesda has finally confirmed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake is real, and the studio will hold a livestream tomorrow morning at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT) to give players more details. The long-rumored and discussed remaster is one of the worst-kept secrets in the gaming industry, but it’s still a pleasant surprise to see confirmation from Bethesda itself that the game will return.

The news comes via Bethesda’s social media accounts, which shared an image of a helmeted warrior with the Roman numeral “IV” in front of it. The company is clearly enjoying itself, as clicking the YouTube link leads to a video titled, “All will be revealed…” The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion preceded Skyrim and introduced players to the land of Cyrodil, and its lore tied closely into the story of the subsequent game.

At the time of writing, almost 12,000 viewers are waiting for the stream to go live. With the description stating that “all” will be revealed, we hope that includes a launch window. Most likely, the stream will detail gameplay elements, show off how it has been improved over the 2006 original, and much more. Bethesda might also drop the game at the end of the stream, if we’re lucky.

It wouldn’t be overly surprising if that is the case. Rumors have suggested Bethesda might shadow-drop the game with little to no fanfare, and last week, screenshots of the remake leaked from the developer’s website shortly before an automated response from the Xbox Support Account confirmed the remaster’s existence.

There’s no word on pricing or availability yet, but the Oblivion remaster is expected to be a day one GamePass title. Some Steam users have also reported seeing it added to their libraries, which adds strength to the idea that it might drop tomorrow following the stream.

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.
