Totally deserved. It will be interesting to see how this resounding success will influence From's future projects.

Talking about DLC again, I am curious on the scope there. Elden Ring is way bigger than I expected. Will the same apply to a DLC?

Congrats to them 🎉

Elden Ring is an incredible game but not without flaws. I hope they learn from the feedback and continue to make outstanding titles.

Tbh this is a little disappointing. It sold 12 mil in first 18 days. I thought it would at least reach 15 mil by the end of March. Now it's highly unlikely that it will reach 20mil till the end of the year. Maybe about 16-17 mil.
Again it's still a very successful title but looks like it's a little frontloaded
It hasn't even seen a price drop or promotion yet that wasn't a retailer reducing its own cut.

Nah. Its still the constant top game on Steam salecharts and on consoles its doing well as well. Game defies a lot of sales trajectories for titles like it.

Deserved, this game is a masterpiece. Can't wait for the DLC/expansion.

Yeah, I know that it's a top seller on Steam. That's why I am a little bit disappointed that it sold only 1,4 mil from March 14 to March 31. I think it sold even less in April.

Do remember that a lot of people also probably cannot play it yet, as it runs on a certain dx12 requirements and anything below that won't run it at all.

Considering the chip shortage, a lot of people can't upgrade so soon, at least I knew a few ppl that has this experience.

Those are still pretty darn good numbers for a game that already sold 12 million copies prior to that and hasn't had any sales yet. It will be interesting to see how it does the rest of the year.

Yes, hopefully they'll share some numbers in the future. I am pretty sure it'll reach 20 mil pretty fast, Maybe not this year though

I am saying that its selling more than this indicates basically. I can easily 20M by end of year, which would be super strong legs.

I still haven't beat the game yet.

Been going out of my way to unlock and explore all the hard to get to areas.

Just found a big tree-top zone I been running around in the past day or so.

Love how this game keeps surprising me.

I just wish they could make it run better on PC. Crashes and stutters still abound and I just want it to be smoother. :(

damn, they have a come a long way.

i dont know what the King's Field games sold, but i do remember the unconfirmed reports that Demon's Souls had reached 500k units sold back in 2010 or so, and people were really happy it was relatively succesful on PS3 and not a total flop. 13.4mil is craaaaaaazy compared to that, hah. i hope there are still many of the same people working on these games, and enjoying the explosive success. you deserve it.

I finished at the 92 hour mark. Immediately start playing again and found 2 caves that I missed in the beginning of my first playthrough. I have my Deck now so I'm going to finish my second run there because I know I missed somethings even though I took my time.

Probably around 15m+ now? Since it's still top sale on Steam and most played paid game on xbox on most regions.

I remember how happy a bunch of us were watching Demons Souls crawl to 1 million on its good word of mouth back on ps3.

Rare phenomenon to see such lockstep critical and commercial success. Fromsoftware and Elden Ring truly deserve every bit of it and more.

I'm anticipating the DLC more than any AAA release I can recall. If they're aiming to top prior expansions it'll be something for sure.
