Elden Ring has already dominated the gaming sphere since it launched on February 25 and, at least on Steam, it’s only growing in popularity.

Per SteamDB data, Elden Ring has hit record peak concurrent users every day since it was released. More than 764,000 played Elden Ring on February 25, followed by more than 861,000 the next day, and more than 891,000 the day after.

Elden Ring’s peak concurrent users is 891,638, placing it seventh in the all-time list behind only New World, Cyberpunk 2077, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: GO, Lost Ark, and PUBG: Battlegrounds in first.

But it’s fast approaching sixth place. Elden Ring is currently just 21,996 peak concurrent users behind New World, meaning if the trend continues and even more people play it today, February 28, then it could move even higher up the list. That may be a tough task immediately – weekdays tend to see lower player numbers than weekends – but it feels increasingly likely to come down the line.

Elden Ring is also currently one of the best-reviewed games in modern history with a 97 on Metacritic, placing it alongside The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Grand Theft Auto V, Metroid Prime, and more.

In our 10/10 review, IGN said: “Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path.”
