Elden Ring has sold 17.5 million copies

Elden Ring quickly became by far FromSoftware’s biggest success following its release in February earlier this year – where the game managed to sell over 12 million copies within its first few weeks on the market. Unsurprisingly, the game is continuing to sell like hotcakes, with publisher Bandai Namco now revealing that Elden Ring has sold over 17.5 million copies.

As reported by RMC, Bandai Namco recently released their latest fiscal reports, including a Q&A section where the publisher revealed that Elden Ring has officially sold 17.5 million copies as of the end of September 2022.

For comparison’s sake, the most recent figures for Dark Souls III puts the game at having sold 10 million copies – and that took 4 years. Elden Ring performing as well as it has is impressive not only for FromSoftware, but also due to the fact that Elden Ring is a new IP while Dark Souls III was the conclusion to a highly regarded and popular franchise.

What’s more, Elden Ring has managed this all without releasing any post-launch content – though considering the fact that the game has been nominated for a GOTY, fans are hoping to see news of some DLC at the upcoming Game Awards.

With Elden Ring having Sold 17.5 million copies in just 7 months, there’s no telling just how many units it will have sold when all is said and done.
