13.4 million units sold

The numbers come out to Bandai, and it is that his title billed by From Software is in luck since it has just been announced that it has sold around the world and until March 31 a whopping 13.4 million units. Of that figure, the last 1.4 million units correspond to the two weeks prior to today, so it is really incredible data if we take into account that it was launched in February, confirming that Elden Ring is a sales leader.

The game lives up to expectations given the great acceptance and sales seen, where even the president of Bandai Namco is surprised:

It’s amazing to see how many people have been playing Elden Ring

What is the reason for this sales success? What scale is Elden Ring really on? Well, according to the data above.

Elden Ring sold more in the UK than Dark Souls 3

As impressive as this game may seem, it has surpassed a colossus of the industry and the sector such as Dark Souls 3, especially in the United Kingdom where the game took root. Well, the information regarding sales indicates that Elden Ring achieved in the same period of time a 26% more sales in that country, which is impressive.

Miyazaki wanted to offer a few words of thanks for such high sales figures, because 12.4 million units is not an easy thing to achieve:

A lot of effort went into creating Elden Ring to exceed the expectations of our fans around the world. I would like to extend our sincere thanks on behalf of the entire development team to the players.

Likewise, we will continue our efforts to expand the brand beyond the game itself and into everyone’s daily lives. Elden Ring is based on a mythological story written by George RR Martin. We hope that players will enjoy a high level of freedom as they venture through its vast world, explore its many secrets, and face its many threats. Thank you for your continued support.

And it is that since The Division in the year 2016 no title has overshadowed this one in sales. Elden Ring has become Europe’s biggest release and is on its way to being GOTY without a doubt.
