Elden Ring Sales Soar to 23 Million Ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

FromSoftware's magnum opus, Elden Ring, has passed another impressive sales milestone, with the Souls-Like great having shipped more than 23 million copies to date. Publisher Bandai Namco announced the impressive figure following the reveal of its eagerly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

This figure includes shipped copies of physical versions, as well as downloadable sales, including those on Steam, which goes to show how far into the mainstream Elden Ring managed to break through. Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game of 2023, for example, having sold somewhere in the realm of 22 million copies last we checked; not a bad effort from Elden Ring, then, eh? A hardcore action game synonymous with high difficulty, entering the same territory almost two years to the day from launch is pretty impressive stuff.

If you missed it, be sure to check out Shadow of the Erdtree's atmospheric reveal trailer. FromSoftware says that an Elden Ring sequel is not currently on the cards, but wouldn't rule out the possibility entirely.
