The new video game from From Software, Elden Ring, does not tire of making history, and that only a few hours ago it officially went on sale. After harvesting one of the better grades averages in Metacritic of all time in the video game industry, now Elden Ring reaches a historic number of simultaneous players, which confirms what we all already know: the titles of the Japanese company that also created Dark Souls or Bloodborne have ceased to be niche to become some of the most popular in the sector. The numbers that we tell you below are good proof of this.
According to the data offered by SteamDB, which tracks and catalogs the statistics of the video games present on the Steam platform, they show that Elden Ring has already reached 765,000 simultaneous playerswhich places him as the seventh game of the history of Valve’s service to reach that number. For comparison, Dark Souls 3 peaked at 130,000 concurrent users and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice peaked at 125,000, roughly one seventh of what Elden Ring has achieved in just a few hours. It should also be borne in mind that these are only the Steam numbers, to which all Xbox and PlayStation players should be added.
