Elden Ring has now reached a new all-time concurrent player peak on Steam in only its second week, with 953,426 players. The game surpassed New World which once held the #1 spot, with more than 913,000 players. But, the concurrent player crown now goes to Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is only behind PUBG, Lost Ark, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 now in the all-time most played games on Steam. But, seeing how the game is selling on the platform, it will almost certainly move up a spot or two in the near future. These numbers haven’t been seen before on a Souls game so Elden ring has brought the series a lot of new fans. Hence, FromSoftware has a bright future for the next games of the franchise.
