The new online PVE co-op Elden Ring game is off to an incredible start. Nightreign has sold 2 million copies on consoles and PC in the first day, FromSoftware has announced. Remember that Nightreign is a cross-gen release available on both PS4/Xbox One and the PS5/Xbox Series systems, so these full game sales metrics include all platforms.

The confirmation post was short and to the point: "Darkness fell over Limveld, and two million Nightfarers rose up against it. Thank you for your support."

For reference, Elden Ring managed to sell 12 million copies in its first 2 weeks on the market, a milestone underlined by the fact that it was only launched on gen 8 consoles and PC at the time.

FromSoftware also revealed Patch 1.02 which is coming next week, adding some bonuses for solo play--including being able to automatically revive as well as boosted rune rewards.

Below we have a quick selective breakdown of some of the fastest-selling games of recent years:
