Elden Ring Still Slaying, 30M Units Later

FromSoftware’s gloriously brutal masterpiece Elden Ring just hit a new milestone that would make even Malenia pause mid-sword dance: 30 million copies sold worldwide. That’s right—30 million brave (and likely broken) Tarnished have taken their shot at the Lands Between, only to get smacked by a tree with legs. And somehow? We loved every second.

Let’s break it down like a Spirit Ash summoning gone right.

A Number Worthy of a Tarnished

Dearest Tarnished, we are profoundly thankful for your lasting devotion.
May your path be forever guided by the Grace of Gold.#ELDENRING pic.twitter.com/3oMfkVpFWU

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware officially confirmed the sales number as of April 2025, combining physical and digital copies into one massive “are you kidding me?” figure. For a game that launched in February 2022 with no map markers, no hand-holding, and a tutorial you had to fall into to even find, that’s wild.

Elden Ring isn’t just in the best-sellers club now—it owns a seat at the round table with the likes of Skyrim, The Witcher 3, and Breath of the Wild. The game’s massive success proves once again that players are totally fine with getting repeatedly wrecked—as long as it’s in style.

Shadow of the Erdtree’s Big Boost

Of course, we can’t talk about this milestone without shouting out Shadow of the Erdtree. This DLC dropped in June 2024 and sold five million copies in three days. Not weeks. Not months. Days.

FromSoft knew what they were doing. New bosses, new lore, new emotional trauma. The fandom came running back faster than you can say “YOU DIED.” And with good reason—this wasn’t just content, it was a full-on resurrection of hype.

It’s the kind of momentum most live-service games would sacrifice a demigod for.

Final Thoughts: Praise the Sales

Elden Ring didn’t just win Game of the Year—it won game of the era. With 30 million sales (and counting), it’s clear FromSoft cracked the code: challenging, weird, and completely unforgettable. And let’s be real—if we hear even a whisper about a sequel or another DLC, we’re all diving back in like we never left.

So go ahead, Tarnished. Rest at that Site of Grace. You earned it.
