Elden Ring was released today and currently holds the top spot on the Steam charts<\/a> for the most concurrent players.<\/p>\n

The FromSoftware title has overtaken Lost Ark and has held a steady level of around 600k concurrent players since its release.<\/p>\n

Despite many players reporting performance issues, such as stuttering, controller connection problems and FPS drops, Elden Ring peaked at over 700k players.<\/p>\n

Elden Ring features a massive open world, numerous dungeons to explore and legions of enemies to fight – it should keep players busy for some time.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is all the more impressive given the title\u2019s difficulty and previous FromSoftware games’ day one performances \u2013 Dark Souls 3 peaked at 130k and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice at 125k.<\/p>\n

Given the excitement around Elden Ring, it\u2019s likely this high overall player count will persist for some time, especially when players who did not pre-order the game purchase it and join in.<\/p>\n

FromSoftware should be pleased with this record-breaking release day result.<\/p>\n

Elden Ring is available on Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S\/X \u2013 its release trailer can be watched below.<\/p>\n
