The Elden Ring, one day before its release, has been maintaining its top spot on Steam’s best-selling chart on the 24th thanks to favorable reviews from professional media. It is estimated that the sales volume has also gained more strength as the favorable reviews close to perfect scores continue.
For reference, as of the 24th, Elden Ring recorded a high score of 97 on Metacritic (45 reviews) and 96 on Open Critic (111 reviews). There are only 24 video games in history that have scored 97 or higher on Metacritic, with Elden Ring taking one spot. It is expected to record higher sales on the 25th, the day of release.
In addition, Final Fantasy 6 was named in the rankings. Final Fantasy 6 is a game released for the Super Famicom in 1994, and is the first Final Fantasy series in which Yoshinori Kitase served as the main director. It has been released on PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, mobile, and PC. As it is one of the masterpieces that is evaluated as the best Final Fantasy as much as Final Fantasy 7, 9, and 10, it is expected that many players will purchase it at the same time as Final Fantasy 7, 9, and 10.
In addition, Destiny 2 continues to rank 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 10th thanks to the release of the new expansion, The Witch Expansion.
If you look at the maximum number of concurrent users as of the 24th, the number of users of Lost Ark continues to drop slightly, but it is still maintaining the top spot. In addition, Total War: Warhammer 3 moved up one place from 12th to 11th, and as a reward, Team Fortress fell two places to 13th.
