Elden Ring Hits 30 Million Copies Sold

Summary

  • Elden Ring has sold 30 million copies.
  • The Tarnished Edition for Switch 2 will surely give this number a bump.
  • Elden Ring 2 when?

Without a shadow of a doubt, Elden Ring is destined to be among the most remarkable games this generation will remember. The peak of FromSoftware’s Souls series offers an awe-inspiring open world called The Lands Between, legendary bosses, and storylines penned by George R.R. Martin himself. Is it truly shocking that it has now been confirmed to have sold an astounding 30 million copies?

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC was exceptionally well-received, earning comparisons to Game of the Year contenders, despite not being a standalone game. Few games have achieved what Elden Ring did, raising the bar for open-world RPGs. Its popularity led FromSoftware to expand into the multiplayer co-op arena with Nightreign, using Elden Ring as a foundation.

Elden Ring Is Not Yet Done

Despite your belief that Elden Ring has reached its peak, it stands to gain an upgrade with the arrival of Switch 2. It’s been officially confirmed that Elden Ring: The Tarnished Edition is coming to Nintendo’s latest console, making it possible for players to explore their Tarnished world on the go and experiment with various character builds.

Given that The Tarnished Edition offers fresh armor sets, a new skin for Torrent, and additional features, completionists might find themselves revisiting The Lands Between in pursuit of these extras. As the story is often revealed through item descriptions, fans would likely want to examine these items personally. However, it’s uncertain whether this additional content will be available at an extra cost across other versions of the game.

Regarding what’s next for Elden Ring, FromSoftware hasn’t hinted at anything yet. It’s possible they won’t abandon this universe, but they’ll need a clever method to interconnect a new world with The Lands Between. Maybe they could follow the model of Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom and create an altered version of the original.
