Elden Ring is an extremely popular video game. According to the NPD Group, which tracks monthly game sales, it's the best-selling game of the year so far, selling over 12 million copies in the month it's been available, and it's already up there with the best games of the year, if not recent memory.
What's more, Elden Ring has been out for almost a month and is widely regarded as the best game ever created by many gamers. Elden Ring does not have to be a one-player experience. It's great as a solo adventure, perhaps aided by the occasional helpful summon to get you through a particularly difficult boss fight.
