All FromSoftware games rule, but Bloodborne has the coolest vibes. You’re dripping in Victorian garb, flanked by gothic architecture, and stalked by Lovecraftian terrors across cobbled streets that run red with each sword swing, wielding weapons that shift and transform mid-combo, parrying with a shotgun — it’s just sick. Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that it's still selling hundreds of thousands of copies a year despite being over a decade old.
According to Alinea Analytics estimates, the PS4 exclusive has reportedly sold more than 251,000 copies this year alone. Analyst Rhys Elliott took to social media to note that the game has sold to an estimated 10.4 million copies since going on sale in March 2015, generating around $317 million in revenue.
On top of the impressive sales, an estimated half a million played Bloodborne in October through PS Plus, Sony’s video game subscription service. Bloodborne continues to be hugely popular among fans of FromSoftware games, the data suggests. Of those nearly 500,000 players, 12% also played Elden Ring this month, while 6% also played Dark Souls 3 and 5% also played Sekiro. “There’s a cohort of gamers who are always bouncing between different From games. Can’t blame them, especially with this one," Elliott said.
Bloodborne is one of the few PS4 exclusives that never got a PS5 update and is still (officially at least) locked at 30fps, despite public demand for a Bloodborne remaster. Modders have managed to get Bloodborne running at 120fps on higher resolutions than previously possible on PS5 , however.
