It became the biggest launch for from software ever. It also has a luxury of being a game with George R.R. Martin as one of its writers.

It sold over 17 million copies within a few months of its launch, and it even won what people consider the biggest honor in gaming, Game of the Year Award at the game Awards 2022. And it appears it has no intention of stopping with these achievements.

From Software’s game leaves behind Sony Santa Monica’s blockbuster behind in several ways, its combat, its detailed narrative all work together to make it a better game all over.

Its not even surprising that Elden Ring is making so much buzz in gaming. We have yet to see how far this game goes in terms of these awards. But it has already won over a number of new fans that were previously hesitant to try souls games.

Fans of PlayStation exclusives are not very happy with this
