It appears to be a massive sales success as many new players are playing a FromSoftware game for the first time. Elden Ring sold over 12 million copies in less than a month without offers or special deals. By comparison, it took Dark Souls 3 around four years to reach 10 million sales. Elden Ring continues to be near the top of the latest sales charts, and players now have an opportunity to get the game at a small discount.

Some games are available for deep discounts a few months after launch, while others are now being offered to members of subscription services, like Xbox Game Pass, to boost the active player base. Elden Ring evidently didn’t underperform, and there is no shortage of active players, so it will likely maintain its price for the majority of 2022. Fans looking for a more significant discount on Elden Ring, especially on digital storefronts, may have to wait until Black Friday and the Holiday Season. Hopefully, the PC and Xbox versions of the game will also be available at a discounted rate.
Elden Ring continues to get updates, and it will likely be in even better shape by then. Elden Ring’s performance was highly unstable at launch on all platforms, and some technical issues remain two months after release. Bandai Namco Entertainment regularly releases major patches that fix bugs, add new features, and implement balance changes. The latest patch for Elden Ring buffed magic and colossal weapons, while a previous patch added a new NPC to the game. So, waiting for a bigger discount may not be a bad idea.
Elden Ring is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
