FromSoftware has definitely succeeded in its bet. Everyone could foresee thatElden Ring was going to be a success even before its release, but no one really knew yet how much the title was going to panic the charts. After selling 13 million copies in one month, the title continued its crazy momentum and remained at the top of sales in many countries, such as the United States, where it was the best-selling game of the whole month of June.
Another record for the game
US NPD PREMIUM GAMES – Elden Ring ranks among the top 10 best-selling premium games in the US market all-time (dollar sales).

Mat Piscatella, of the NPD Group, which compiles information on the video game market in the United States, has published several analyzes in which we can see that Bandai Namco’s title is number 1 in the United States in June (in number of dollars generated for a premium game). It is so the best-selling game in 2022 in this territoryis has only rarely been dethroned from the top spot each month.
Piscatella then states that with these results, Elden Ring is already one of the 10 best-selling premium (i.e. paid) titles of all time across the United States.
A great feat that proves once again that From Software is rewarded for its efforts, after spending more than ten years refining its formula. We’ll also appreciate seeing that one of the best-selling games of all time doesn’t feature any microtransactions, which should silence some gossip in the industry.
