Over a decade later, FromSoftware classic Bloodborne remains so popular it reportedly sold a quarter of a million copies this year alone

Bloodborne, FromSoftware's singular Lovecraftian action-RPG, has reportedly sold more than 251,000 copies this year alone.

That's according to Alinea Analytics head of market analyst Rhys Elliott, who revealed the figure in a post on X, noting this brings Bloodborne's total sales up to an estimated 10.4m copies, generating $317m (around £236m) in revenue. Elliot also claimed more than half a million people played Bloodborne in October through PlayStation Plus.

Additionally, 12 percent of those are said to have played Elden Ring during the month, while 6 percent played Dark Souls 3, and 5 percent played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. There's a cohort of gamers who are always bouncing between different From[Software] games," Elliott pointed out. "Can't blame them, especially with this one."
