Bethesda sure does love a long, unskippable tutorial.

That number, though, looks like it will fall just short of Skyrim’s best.

Bethesda’s 2011 classic, which has had a million different versions launch onSteam, peaked at 287,411 players.

The fact that Oblivion hasn’t beaten Skyrim is nothing to be ashamed of for the game.

Neither Skyrim nor Oblivion holds the record for highest concurrent player count for a Bethesda title, however.

That record goes to 2015’sFallout 4, which achieved highs of almost 475,000 players when it launched.

It looks likely that both of these records will hold untilThe Elder Scrolls VIlaunches, whenever that may be.

But hey,at least Bethesda hasn’t forgotten about it.
