GTA V Drives by surprise Elden Ring on sales after departure from its next version

While we thought that no game could dethrone Elden Ring from its place N * 1 in sales, there is one who has unexpectedly dethroned it: GTA V. The version of Next-Gen of the Rockstar game has just been released and already He has shot at the top of the lists.

The sword against the gun

These are the letters of the United Kingdom because those of our country are rarely revealed with so much precision. In Europe, GTA V was a real success and it is possible that Elden Ring also loses its place at the top of the classification in the country.

The two games, drastically opposed both by your universe and by your gameplay, are not comparable in any way. On the one hand we have the game of fromsoftware, released a month ago, which is an authentic masterpiece ** and that will undoubtedly mark the history of the open world with its impressive plot and graphics.

On the other, it is GTA V, a classic of video games that you do not need presentation and that you have had several adaptations in several generations of consoles. It is true that the Golden Eggs of Rockstar is one of those games that you must have in your library for some reason or another. Therefore, it is quite logical that the players acquired it when it was launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S.

The classification that has surprised everyone

Take a look at this week's online video game sales classifications (according to game sales data):

  1. Grand Theft Auto 5 (Rockstar)
  2. Elden Ring (Bandai Namco)
  1. Grand Theft Auto Online
  2. WWE 2K22 - PS5 (2K Games)

DF Direct Weekly #53: GTA5, Elden Ring 1.03 Perf Increase, FSR 2.0 Reaction 5. WWE 2K22 - XSX (2K Games)

The accurate sales numbers are not available, so it is impossible to say if GTA V won or not to Elden Ring. However, we note that the online version of Rockstar's title rises to third podium post. A real performance that is a good omen for multiplayer mode of the game.

Who will win?

Therefore, it is difficult to compare sales of a new game launched a month ago and those of another who returned about a week after 9 years of existence. To really know who will be victorious of this duel of Titans, we will have to wait to analyze the figures over a month or even a whole year. The truth is that they will both have left their mark in the world of video games , each in their own way but equally important for the industry.
