Elden Ring, hailed as one of the top games of 2022, has sold an impressive 20 million copies, as announced by publisher Bandai Namco on February 22. The press release included a message of gratitude from FromSoftware to the fans for embracing the game’s world. The announcement also recognized the significant contribution of George R.R. Martin to the game’s lore and cited its Game of the Year win at The Game Awards 2022.
Elden Ring’s Game of the Year triumph was a landslide victory, with numerous publications and reader polls bestowing the title on the game. In a ResetEra thread, fans counted at least 400+ such awards, while God of War Ragnarok, with 98 awards, was the runner-up. Elden Ring is still one of the top-selling games, ranking sixth in the US in January, and although details about the DLC are unknown, data miners speculate that it will include a legacy dungeon and potentially feature the mysterious deity Miquella.
Hope you enjoyed the official gameplay reveal of the highly praised game, Elden Ring, that has now achieved a remarkable milestone of selling over 20 million copies.
