- FromSoftware launched the Elden Ring DLC on June 21.
- This expansion has already accumulated 5 million sales in the first week.
- Fans can expect even more milestones for this expansion.
Elden Ring has caught everyone’s attention all over the gaming world because the title has received an expansion that has raised the standards for all future DLCs, even beating Blood and Wine.
Shadow of the Erdtree continues this IP’s streak of success. The DLC has become yet another hit for FromSoftware, reaching 5 million sales in total.
Why it matters: FromSoftware already sold 25 million units of Elden Ring and won Game of the Year. This milestone just adds to the IP’s already successful legacy.
The DLC has been out for less than a week, reaching a milestone that most full games cannot. For comparison, major releases like Final Fantasy 16 reached 3 million sales in a similar timespan.
This makes Shadow of the Erdtree’s sales figures nothing short of incredible. Despite the mixed reviews on Steam, the general reception on social media has been largely positive, with fans enjoying the new content.
Interestingly, Elden Ring reached nearly 1 million concurrent players after the DLC launched. Peaking at about 781K players, the game saw an unprecedented resurgence once this expansion finally arrived.
Overall, Shadow of the Erdtree more than deserves the incredible commercial success. It is also important to note that nearly 20% of all Elden Ring players have purchased the DLC, making for an incredible attach rate.
Recently, FromSoftware released a patch to improve the DLC further, optimizing player buffs to negate some of the difficulty.
In the future, fans can expect further patches and updates for Shadow of the Erdtree. Similarly, FromSoftware will likely see even more success as the expansion goes on sale and receives price cuts.
