Forums - Sales Discussion - Elden Ring is the best selling title in the last 12 months, even though it has only been out for three. Surpasses Call of Duty: Vanguard. (USA)

Elden Ring is Call of Duty-mainstream.

Wow, what a success. Congratulations From Soft, this is deserved in my personal opinion, what a gem this game is.

Take that all the ones demanding easy modes, so that Souls can reach the masses. Apparently the masses are fine with it.

Wait, was there any doubt it would after the first figures we heard ?

Call of Duty Vanguard on the other hand is far from being one of the best selling COD games in the series which facilitate the task of doing so

Unsurprising and very deserved, its a fantastic game. Easily my #1 of the last 2-3 years.

Quality sells.

Literally just finished my first playthough of the game about 5 minutes ago, and I can say those sales are well-deserved. Not quite sure yet how I would rank it against the other Soulsborne games, but it is unquestionably the best open world game I've ever played. Minor issues aside, I spent almost 135 hours on the game, and enjoyed nearly all of it.

What games definitely sold more within the last 12 months? We know that Elden Ring did 13.4 million at the end of March, and probably over 15 million by May. It's performing stupidly well in every region and every system.
