Elden Ring’s launch is bigger than Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Cyberpunk 2077 in the UK

GSD digital and physical sales data published on GamesIndustry.biz states that Elden Ring is the biggest non-FIFA or Call of Duty title since 2018’s Red Dead Redemption 2. Similarly, Elden Ring is seeing better first-week sales than Assassin’s Creed Valhalla or Cyberpunk 2077 did within similar time frames. Perhaps most surprising of all is that FromSoftware’s latest sold more than twice as much as Horizon Forbidden West, which came out only a week prior.
