One of the best games of the last decade. Couldn't be happier for FROM. They deserve this success and then some

They announced 12 million sold on March 16, so 13.4 million at the end of march suggests sales keeping a decent pace.

How long until it hits 20 million? End of the year with a decent sale?

Are you referring to the old reviews on From Software's workplace? Because if so, there's no proof to say that they are/aren't paying their staff well now.

If From or Bandai Namco haven't already given them a truckload of money, Kadokawa should have considering that they are From's parent company.

I remember seeing that recently at a JP job board where the data seems to indicate a rather low satisfaction among employees.

That's understandable but I don't believe FS is same as before.

I checked some of the reviews and the latest is from 2016, so who knows?

And of course, the team deserve more, they created a beast.

I'm assuming this is both digital and physical? I can't imagine this being physical only? Regardless, not a surprise, as it's still in Steam's Global top 10 charts. It's been in Steam's top 10 for 20 weeks now!

Great, now they can afford to fix their shit that's been broken for so long now!
(really though, its success is well deserved in general)

One of the best games ever made and Top 3 of open world games.
Well deserved. 20 million next.

Numbers aren't really that up to date. We got the 12 million sold press release in mid-March, and if this indicates 13.4 million shipped as of 31 March, that's pretty much within the same window. Would be interesting to see what numbers in April and May have been like.

Imagining someone who wasn't familiar with these games playing Elden Ring for the first time... it must be a really insane experience.

Hopefully they'll give another update as of june 30 (which would be anounced at the end of July/start of August in their next earnings report).

Though it's also possible they'll announce the 15M milestone in a tweet, assuming it hasn't passed that yet.

Tbh this is a little disappointing. It sold 12 mil in first 18 days. I thought it would at least reach 15 mil by the end of March. Now it's highly unlikely that it will reach 20mil till the end of the year. Maybe about 16-17 mil.
Again it's still a very successful title but looks like it's a little frontloaded

Aside from direct gaming implications and From's future development, I'm really curious about Elden Ring extensions in other media.
They already said to expect something in that direction, right?

Great game, I'm enjoying it even though I don't have any idea what I'm doing

Don't know if it's deserved since I've only played about 8 hours with some annoying stuttering, but I wouldn't want it to not sell so I guess it's all good.

Finishing my second playthrough (first was 140 hours, this one around 80), already thinking about a third one, even though other games are waiting for me (Sakura Wars, Dragon's Dogma, Ruined King).
Fantastic game and one of my all-time favorites.

The DLC can't come soon enough!

Was day one…and am still playing it regularly. Other than the couple MMO and MMO type/lite games I've played, it's rare I stick with a game going on 3 straight months (also helps I was able to convince my fiancé to try it and now she's hooked).
