'Elden Ring' has sold more than 20 million copies

In little more than a year, Elden Ring has sold approximately 20.5 million copies.

That’s according to an investor report spotted by a ResetEra forum user (via Eurogamer ).

“Repeat sales of existing titles such as Elden Ring were strong, especially overseas, [with] worldwide sales reaching 20.5 million,” Bandai Namco writes in the document.

In just 18 days, Bandai Namco sold more than 12 million copies of the action RPG.

The ongoing strong performance of Elden Ring bodes well for FromSoftware’s next game, Armored Core VI .

When it arrives this August , the title will be the first entry in the Armored Core series in nearly a decade. »
