Elden Ring sold 13.4 million copies during the month after its release, making it the most successful FromSoftware game ever.<\/p>\n

This was revealed in the latest Bandai Namco earnings call, where it was also indicated that\u00a012 million of these sales took place in the first three weeks.<\/p>\n

Dark Souls 3 was previously the highest earner for FromSoftware, having sold over 10 million copies in four years, and the Souls series has sold over 27 million copies overall.<\/p>\n

Elden Ring, no doubt thanks to its accessibility, is set to exceed this total if its sales continue to be as brilliant as they\u2019ve been thus far.<\/p>\n

Elden Ring was released on 25 February 2022 and received numerous accolades and positive reviews and has since managed to stay in the top ten highest-grossing games on Steam consistently.<\/p>\n
