Developer FromSoftware may have built its reputation on 2011 game Dark Souls' black rocks and unsparing fortresses, but Elden Ring is what exalted FromSoftware's status to the stars: the action RPG has recently outsold the entire Dark Souls series by about 2 million copies.

Elden Ring sales have reached the same combined sales for all Dark Souls games – prior to 2022, at least – in just two years

Elden Ring has now sold over 28.6m copies worldwide, outselling the entire Dark Souls series prior to its release.
