It took Elden Ring less than 12 months to reach 20 million copies sold globally. It is now the fastest-selling title by FromSoftware, and here are its figures compared to other Soulsborne games.

Bandai Namco made the announcement on Ferbruary 22, saying that the total sales figure includes both physical and digital copies.

The last time Bandai Namco disclosed sales figures for Elden Ring was in November 2022, when the game surpassed the 17.5 million mark. This means it has sold an additional 2.5 million units globally since then.
