Collider has published a ranked list of the ten best video games made or published by Bethesda, drawing on the studio's decades-long history across franchises such as The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Dishonored. The feature acknowledges that not every Bethesda release has been a hit, citing Starfield, but argues the company remains held in high regard by fans for its immersive worlds, ahead of anticipated future titles including The Elder Scrolls VI. Games are judged on design, gameplay, visuals, narrative, influence, originality, entertainment value, fan opinion, critical acclaim and overall quality.

Titles covered include Fallout 4, praised for its accessible design and base-building mechanics; The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, highlighted following its recent remaster; and two Arkane-developed titles published by Bethesda, Prey and Dishonored 2, both noted for their immersive-sim gameplay and power systems. The list explicitly includes games developed by external studios, such as Arkane, as long as Bethesda published them, and the excerpt provided covers only part of the full ten-game ranking.
