Ever since its launch in February 2022, Elden Ring has become some sort of a fable in the gaming space. The game has seen unprecedented success and popularity. The game ranks as the second highest-reviewed game on OpenCritic and has received "universal acclaim" according to review aggregator Metacritic. And that's not all. On streaming platform Twitch, it had almost 900,000 viewers in just 24 hours of its launch, making it the third-largest debut on the platform after Lost Ark and Cyberpunk 2077. And now, it appears that the game has reached yet another milestone by receiving 3.4 billion YouTube views, highest for a game, after sixty days of launch. In the process, it has beaten the likes of GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild and others.

The big revelation came from the official Twitter account of YouTube Gaming which shared an infographic detailing how various games have performed on the platform in the first sixty days since their launch.
