Shadow of the Erdtree hits one-fifth of Elden Ring’s total sales in less than one week
The numbers are in, and Shadow of the Erdtree is just as much of a massive success as the original Elden Ring.
The game’s official X page shared that the DLC expansion has already accumulated 5 million downloads in less than one week of release. What makes this number so significant is that it’s one-fifth of the total number of sales for the original Elden Ring, which was at 25 million units sold a week before the DLC was released. It was already one of the best-selling games of all time, and these massive numbers for Shadow of the Erdtree have fully reinforced its significance.
