Elden Ring is available globally now for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game was released back in February of this year and has been amazingly successful ever since. As covered earlier today, FromSoftware’s hit title won the Game of the Year Award at the GDC Awards 2023 last night. Previously, the game already won a GOTY award at the Game Awards, as well as our own GOTY award. Exact sales numbers haven’t been shared, but we do know that the game has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
An expansion for Elden Ring, called ‘Shadow of the Erdtree’, was officially announced last month. The DLC has yet to receive a release date but is expected to release by the end of this year. Here’s what we had to say about FromSoftware’s latest Souls title in our review:
“I tried hard to find any faults in Elden Ring, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find any outside of some technical issues that the developers could fix via patches”, Francesco De Meo wrote in his review. “I firmly believe that perfection doesn’t exist and that it is always possible to improve, but I really couldn’t think of anything that Elden Ring could have done better. As such, the game wholly deserves a perfect score, an honor I would have given only to a couple of other modern games, not only for its extremely high quality but also for what it accomplished with its open world and for how it will surely influence video games as a whole in the future.”
