Elden Ring Fever Takes Center Stage As Steam Dominance Continues

FromSoftware’s Elden Ring continues its golden run after launch; it has become the best-selling Steam title, for a second successive week. The most anticipated game of the year was released at the end of last month. And in two weeks, Elden Ring has taken the world by storm, thanks to the impressive reactions from the critics as well as the players themselves.

Elden Ring is number one on Steam, again!

The open-world fantasy RPG from Bandai Namco and FromSoftware was years in the making. Ever since its initial announcement, the buzz was already building up among the fans. In between, there was a time when there was no news on the game at all, momentarily, until last year.

Now that it’s already out, everyone seems to be loving Elden Ring a lot, to say the least. In fact, it’s one of the best-rated games on Metacritic.

While opening spectacularly during the launch, the title is still performing really well on major portals a while after its debut. On digital store Steam, Elden Ring ended up as the top-selling game for the second consecutive week.

Steam also has other heavyweights like Lost Ark, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, and Dying Light 2. But none of them proved to be a threat to the Souls-like offering from Hidetaka Miyazaki.
