Several months after its release, the FromSoftware steamroller (Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls) was not stopped. Players continue to flock to the Elden Ring.
With the Game Awards 2022 at stake is Game of the Year, Elden Ring is updating its sales numbers. It is impressive.
Elden Ring is still popular
Elden Ring is by far the most popular Soul-like game from FromSoftware right now. Between its release (February 25, 2022) and the end of the studio’s fiscal year (March 31, 2022), the game had sold 13.4 million copies. To note that Dark Souls 3 has surpassed 10 million copies sold in four years. Which was already very good for such a demanding title.
In June, Elder Ring had conquered 16.6 million players. And today ? By the end of September, FromSoftware’s masterpiece had shipped 17.5 million games worldwide. A figure that combines digital and physical sales in all territories.
The ratings and rave reviews are there, so is the commercial success, what’s next? Get the ultimate award GOTY (Game of the Year) or Game of the Year in good French. The competition will be stiff as God of War Ragnarok is determined to defend itself at The Game Awards 2022.
And then again? If all goes well, Elden Ring should have its DLC.
