With the first figures given by Steam, we already knew thatElden Ring was going to be the most popular game, financially speaking, of FromSoftware. But we perhaps did not measure how much, and GamesIndustry.biz comes to bring us more clarification on the launch of the game, especially in Great Britain.
The consecration for From Software
It is quite naturally that Elden Ring has risen to the top of sales in this territory for the past week, but the GSD organization indicates above all that Elden Ring achieves the best launch of a game since call of duty vanguard in this territory. At the same time, it does two and a half times better than Horizon Forbidden West, which had nevertheless made a big launch. Even better, if we exclude the licenses call of duty and Fifa, the game gets the best launch of a game in Britain since Red Dead Redemption 2released in… 2018.
The sales of its first would thus be higher than those ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla and even Cyberpunk 2077. In Japan, the title starts just as strong with 278,000 copies sold, just on PS4 and PS5as Famitsu asserts.
We should soon be entitled to global figures, but it’s a nice revenge for From Software and for the genre of soulsbornelong considered niche.
