Elden Ring has become one of 2022’s most popular games, but how many players are actually playing the game? From Software’s latest title has made ripples among both die-hard Souls fans and first-time players. Elden Ring has received some rave reviews.
In fact, the response has been so good that the game developer Bandai Namco gave developers a pay hike as a reward. Let’s get into the details.
Well, there is no perfect way of knowing how many people are playing a game across all platforms. However, Steam Charts provide accurate figures for the number of Steam players.
