FromSoftware announced Monday. The game reached the sales milestone three years after its launch, signalling it was still going strong. Elden Ring is comfortably the highest selling game from the Japanese studio, which is currently working on a spinoff title, Elden Ring Nightreign.

Elden Ring Sales Cross 30 Million 10v2u

FromSoftware confirmed Elden Ring had sold 30 million units in a post on X Monday, thanking players who continue to explore the Lands Between. “Dearest Tarnished, we are profoundly thankful for your lasting devotion. May your path be forever guided by the Grace of Gold,” the official Elden Ring said in the post.

Elden Ring reached the 30 million sales mark in just over three years since it launched in February 2022. The last five million units were sold in the past 10 months, which shows the action-RPG is still going strong years after release. Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

The expansion, which added new story content, a new map area, new enemies, boss fights and more, received widespread acclaim at launch and became the Astro Bot. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree went on to sell a whopping five million copies worldwide in just three days of release, and has likely sold a lot more since then.

Elden Ring's Future 6276i

Elden Ring is by far the most profitable franchise for developer FromSoftware, comfortably beating Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (2019), both of which sold over 10 million units. In fact, Elden Ring has now sured the total sales number for the entire Dark Souls franchise, which has shipped over 27 million copies across three games.

FromSoftware, however, has no plans for a sequel to its biggest game, even though it has multiple projects in development. FromSoftware president and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki said in December 2024 that the studio was focussed on other projects. “We don't have any particular plans for Elden Ring 2,” he had said at the PlayStation Partner Awards 2024 Japan Asia event at the time. The game director, however, left the door open for future pieces of media within the Elden Ring IP in some form. “I would like to tell you that we are not ruling out the development of the IP ‘Elden Ring' in some form in the future,” Miyazaki said.

Days later, however, FromSoftware announced Elden Ring Nightreign, a spinoff multiplayer co-op action survival title, at The Game Awards 2025. The game is set for launch on May 30 across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
