Oblivion Remastered got an update on PC Game Pass that broke upscaling just before the weekend

Players of Oblivion Remastered on the Microsoft Store, especially those with a PC Game Pass subscription, are facing issues due to a recent 2GB update aimed at fixing a cross-play problem. This update removed key upscaling options like DLSS and frame generation from the options menu for users who downloaded the game from the Windows/Xbox Store. Bethesda stated that the hotfix was meant for backend adjustments and not to affect gameplay, but players reported that DLSS and FSR options were disabled and that their graphical settings dropped from Ultra to High unexpectedly. Bethesda's community manager acknowledged the situation and mentioned that the team is investigating and plans to release a further hotfix soon.

Additionally, there are limitations with cross-save functionality; while the Xbox Series X|S version supports Xbox Play Anywhere for save transfers, Steam users do not have this option, leading to further frustration in the gaming community.
