Elden Ring sold 36.4 million copies and brought in $2 billion - and that's not the limit
FromSoftware's fantasy action role-playing game Elden Ring remains one of the best-selling projects in recent years. Analytics company Alinea Analytics estimated the game's combined sales on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox at 36.4 million copies, and total revenue at almost $2 billion.
At the same time, the demand for the game does not fall more than four years after the release: in 2026 alone, Elden Ring sold about 2 million copies on three platforms, bringing in almost $110 million. Thanks to this, the project is ahead of many high-profile new products of the current year in terms of commercial indicators.

- on PlayStation, 10.9% of players earned all awards;
- on Steam, 10.5% of users unlocked all achievements;
- on Xbox, only 3.9% of the audience achieved a similar result.
