Elden Ring is massive. Properly massive. We knew that already, but seeing that the game's just smashed through 25 million sales really hammers it home.
The figure was confirmed earlier today by developer FromSoftware, and the crazy thing is that with Shadow of the Erdtree launching next week, those sales numbers are probably in for a bump — especially if the DLC is as well received as the base game. For additional context, the last update that we got on Elden Ring's commercial success came in February, when it topped 23 million. So that's 2 million sales in the space of about four months.
Basically, the open world RPG just hasn't stopped selling since its initial release in 2022. Few games could even dream of hitting 25 million sales, but FromSoftware's struck gold. Can you see Elden Ring breaking 30 million in the next couple of years? 40 million? Predict the impact of the Erdtree in the comments section below.
For my money still the best game this generation. @Mustoe It’s an odd situation because it’s crossgen but I’d definitely say it was the best game of the current gen so far. Becomes a little more complicated for a lot of people if you included Switch in this gen though! Is there a breakdown by hardware? Just curious, no real reason.
That is an insane number considering there must have been at least a few people who avoided it b/c of the difficulty. Though I suppose a few more bought it b/c of the difficulty? I could see it selling a few more million when they'r.
