FromSoftware is raking in the cash and it is all well-deserved. Elden Ring is one of the greatest games around and a triumph in video game design. The action RPG has managed to ship 12 million copies around the world since its launch on 25 February.

FromSoftware reports that the game has shipped over 1 million copies in Japan and another 11 million worldwide. This makes Elden Ring the biggest new IP to release since Ubisoft’s The Division series. The 12 million units are made up of both digital and retail sales across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
