Elden Ring has performed unbelievably in the global market, and this ARPG game set in an orthodox dark fantasy world, developed by Bandai Namco in partnership with FromSoftware, seems to have a special attractive. According to GamesIndustry, according to the latest GSD market report, Ayrton Circle is the biggest new IP in Europe since Tom Clancy’s The Division in 2016.
Sales figures for Ayrden’s Ring show that 44% of sales came from the PC version, then 27% for the PlayStation 5 version, then 16% for the Xbox platform, and finally 13% for the PlayStation 4 version. Like the previous best-selling game charts for February in the U.S., Ayrton’s Circle was the top-selling game in February in basically different parts of Europe, except in one place. In Germany, Pokémon Legends: Arceus overtook Elden’s Circle for the top spot.
Horizon II: Forbidden West would have performed well without Ayrden Circle. Horizon 2: Endless West was the runner-up in game sales in Europe in February, with 59% of sales coming from the PlayStation 5, with the rest coming from the PlayStation 4. “Horizon 2: West End” is the largest game release on the PlayStation 5 platform outside the “Call of Duty” series.
Before its release, Dying Light 2 Stay Human was the second most anticipated game, behind the hit Ayrden Circle. However, after its release, this zombie parkour game seems to have not performed so well, and its sales only ranked fifth. The PlayStation 5 version accounted for 44% of total sales, followed by the PlayStation 4 version with 28%, then the Xbox platform with 16%, and finally the PC version with 12%.
At present, FromSoftware has announced that the global sales of “Ayrden’s Ring” has exceeded 12 million copies, of which the sales in Japan have exceeded 1 million copies.
