According to the completed achievements of the Elden Ring on Steam, so far a little more than half of the players have won their first real fight against the shardsler Godrick. The balance sheet looks much better on Playstation consoles, which raises the question of performance.

However, the challenging gameplay does not seem to detract from the success of Elden Ring. In the UK, the RPG from developers of the Souls franchise was said to have had the best launch week for a game other than Call of Duty or FIFA since Red Dead Redemption 2.
