Elden Ring hits new Steam milestone

Elden Ring marked a turning point for FromSoftware, with the 2022 game quickly becoming by far the studio’s most successful title. That said, Elden Ring has now managed to hit yet another major milestone – being only the 11th game on Steam to receive over 1 million reviews.

With 1,000,449 reviews and counting, Elden Ring is now officially the 11th title in Steam’s history to surpass 6 figures – 92.8% of which are positive.

For context, the 10 other titles which reside within this exclusive club are the following:

• Counter Strike (8.45M)
• PUBG (2.48M)
• DOTA 2 (2.4M)
• GTA V (1.92M)
• Terraria (1.36M)
• Rainbow Six Siege (1.34M)
• Rust (1.15M)
• Team Fortress 2 (1.13M)
• Garry’s Mod (1.12M)
• Black Myth: Wukong (1.07M)

Black Myth: Wukong aside, all of these games are getting up there in age, with the newest title being the now-7-year-old PUBG – whose rapid rise was a phenomenon in and of itself.

Given the cache that Miyazaki and FromSoftware have garnered with the release of Elden Ring, it will be interesting to see whether their upcoming Nightreign spin-off will manage to reach similar heights.
