Elden Ring always on top!

Whether the new numbers do not come directly from Bandai Namco, they nevertheless come from the NPD Group research firm, a serious company that takes care of sector expertise and prescriptive analyzes (just that!). According to NPD Group, Elden Ring is not only the best-selling game in the USA during the month of June 2022, but it would also be the best-selling title on the American market at the end of 2022 if we look at it. believes the words of Mat Piscatella, an analyst in the company.

Since its launch last February, five months ago now, Elden Ring has consistently been the top-selling title by dollar in the United States in 2022, except in February when the latter was dethroned by LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
