- The Elder Scrolls Online is one of Bethesda’s highest revenue-generating titles.
- The title has over 20 million players and makes over $15 million in monthly revenue.
- Fans have even spent over $2 billion on the game, helping it reach huge numbers.
The Elder Scrolls is one of Bethesda’s biggest and most successful franchises. Despite not getting a new mainline entry in so many years, the series has grown mainly because of The Elder Scrolls Online, one of the studio’s most profitable titles.
According to a former Bethesda employee, The Elder Scrolls Online has over 20 million players and is one of the highest revenue-generating titles in the studio’s games lineup.
Why it matters: The Elder Scrolls Online has been around for quite some time now, and thanks to constant updates and new content, it has a very loyal fan base that is continuing to grow.
As per Steve Harris, former Director of Creative Services at Bethesda Softworks’s LinkedIn profile, the title is one of the highest-performing MMOs, making it immensely popular and among the highest-grossing titles from the company.
Last year, the game’s director also revealed that the title had reached over $2 billion in customer spending. Moreover, it also makes $15 million in profit each month, so we can imagine that the numbers must be humongous.
However, Bethesda hasn’t provided the exact figure, so we can’t give a solid number. Nonetheless, it will be difficult to top off what Bethesda has achieved with The Elder Scrolls Online. The studio also finally has The Elder Scrolls 6 on the way.
