We all knew Elden Ring was a pretty huge success right out of the gate; it completely took over the gaming conversation in February. Well, it seems that FromSoftware's latest also dominated YouTube, with 3.4 billion views (yes, with a B) in just 60 days!
YouTube Gaming has dropped this little infographic showing us some Elden Ring launch stats on the platform. Aside from that ridiculous view count, the breakdown also shows everyone what y'all searched for, i.e., needed help with.
Those bosses weren't gonna beat themselves were they! Anyway, this a pretty cool insight into Elden Ring's wider launch period, especially in relation to other huge releases.
Elden Ring's stats completely eclipsed two Rockstar behemoths; GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Yes, YouTube has continued to grow since the pair released (especially GTA 5) but still - it's impressive nonetheless!

Love this game. I reckon it will be my GOTY for sure. There’s so many layers to the game. Currently 67hours in still discovering new things. It reminds me just as much of playing breath of the wild as it does Demon souls. The freedom you have now makes it so much more accessible.
I’ve currently no Wi-Fi so I’ve been playing this offline from the start - which is a first for me with ‘soul’ games. It’s actually added quite a bit to the sense of discovery and surprises…that are often spoilt by various messages leading you by the hand.
I’ve definitely struggled though. And have turned to YouTube for some of the more obscure stuff I’ve encountered.
The Elden Ring wiki deserves the website of the year award. Absolutely stunning how good that thing is & how quickly it was stood up for such a massive game. Anyone else feel the same way?
@Kilamanjaro I agree, the interactive map alone, has been a helpful tool more than once.
@Royalblues I did offline for the second playthrough and it was way more immersive. Didn't need the warnings & tips the second time around!
