As a seasoned gamer with decades under my belt, I’ve had the pleasure of traversing countless digital realms, but none have left as indelible a mark on me as those crafted by the legendary FromSoftware. The news of their financial struggles has been a bittersweet pill to swallow.
Story Highlights
- FromSoftware is an exceptionally popular Japanese developer, known for its Dark Souls and Elden Ring IPs.
- The developer’s financial report for the fiscal year ending March 2024 has now come out into the open.
- As per the findings, FromSoftware has suffered a 29% loss in profit as compared to the last fiscal year.
According to recent financial reports for FromSoftware, as shared by industry expert Dr. Serkan Toto, it appears that the company experienced a decrease in total revenue compared to the previous year. Specifically, there’s been a 29% drop in revenue, amounting to approximately 15.5 billion Japanese yen or around 103.2 million USD.
As a gamer, I’ve noticed a drop in profits this year, with earnings dipping by a staggering 54.4% compared to last fiscal year. It seems that the success story behind Elden Ring, released in 2022, is the main culprit here. This epic game has been an unprecedented hit for FromSoftware, selling over 25 million copies as of January 2024. I guess that’s what they call a double-edged sword!
Furthermore, Elden Ring’s debut was marked by triumph. In just two weeks, the open-world action RPG managed to surpass the 2-million-copies-sold mark, indicating nothing but good luck for the game’s creators. However, since FromSoftware did not launch a new game during the previous fiscal year, sales have seen a significant drop as a result.
Suffering from success realized.
The Projection For This Year Remains Positive Thanks To Elden Ring’s DLC

With the arrival of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, FromSoft rekindled enthusiasm for its masterpiece, sending us players on another thrilling adventure.

To add to this, the DLC has already sold over 5 million units within a single week, an astounding achievement that reflects its deserved popularity.
