Elden Ring has returned to the top of the global Steam rankings and has reappeared among the most played titles
The arrival of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is doing well for the sales of Elden Ring, which is back at the top of the platform’s global rankings.
On June 20th, Shadow of the Erdtree will be released, the first and only expansion of Elden Ring , so eagerly awaited that it has revitalized sales of the base game itself, currently first in the global Steam rankings , despite the absence of any related offer.

The renewed success of Elden Ring has also produced another result: it is back in the top 10 of the most played on Steam by number of concurrent players. At the time of writing this news it is in seventh position with 102,409 players, immediately below Apex Legends, but above Destiny 2.
Sure, it’s not doing the numbers of Banana , but it can still boast a peak of 169,779 players in the last 24 hours. Not bad, considering the years he has under his belt. That many are replaying it to unlock the necessary requirements to be able to enjoy the contents of Shadow of the Erdtree ?
