Amidst Shadow of the ErdTree Release, Massive Sales of Elden Ring Proves Why It Was Game of the Year 2022

Elden Ring has surpassed yet another massive milestone, and this time, it’s in millions. 

FromSoftware’s Elden Ring was one of the most anticipated games of all time. After all, fans received the title fairly well, clocking in countless hours of play. Plus, it was recognized by Twitter’s CEO Elon Musk, who never missed a chance to talk about it. Apparently, Musk tweeted about the game quite a few times and was also featured in helping fans develop builds.

Apart from that, Elden Ring also bagged The Game Of The Year 2022. So, you get the idea of how big the game was since its release. Now, a resetera thread has confirmed that the game has bagged another million-dollar achievement. 

Elden Ring breaks another million-dollar sales record 

According to a thread posted on Resetera, Elden Ring has sold over 20.5 million copies worldwide to date. “New Worldwide titles got off to slow starts, but Smaller more Medium Sized Products moved steadily,” the report read. This helped FromSoftware churn a profit of around 385,681 million Yen or $28.38 million in digital business and 49,339 million Yen or nearly $363,000 as segment profit.

In addition to that, the devs look to have a strong belief in terms of another sales spurt, given that the game still ranks among the best. “We expect a pullback in repeat Elden Ring sales, which made a particularly large contribution to this previous year,” they said in the report. 

On top of that, the franchise has acknowledged Elon Musk’s contribution towards the game as his tweets were a major boost from time to time. After all, we all know Musk’s hype regarding the Dogecoin, and how he affected the drastic price change. So, this was given.
