It won't make any difference to any University.
Your GCSE results are still totally valid results even though they were TAGs and not from exams.
Though Oxbridge tends to not look so much at GCSE grades anyways
Historically Oxford have used GCSEs to filter pre-interview.

How they treat 2021 results is hard to say. Grades were slightly inflated so they are unlikely to lose out on the cream of the crop by holding standards inline with previous years. But it’s very hard to say how & what changes they make to account for lack of exams.

The best people to ask is the admissions staff directly.

For those applying prior to A-level results, they'll need to make judgements based on something. Unless Oxford come up with some more pre-admissions tests (which has its own issues), they'll probably continue to use GCSEs in the same way.

I believe Cambridge don't put as much emphasis on GCSEs either, but I'd expect them to keep the same minimum requirements as usual.
