We live in a time when video games are so firmly embedded in the lives of many people that they manage to spend even their free time from work/study and direct participation in games on content about games. For example, journalists IGN conducted an analysis and calculated that YouTube alone recorded 3.4 billion views of various themed videos on this FromSoftware studio creation in the first two months after the release of Elden Ring – from February 25 to the end of April.
The closest competitor to Elden Ring for a similar time interval is only Grand Theft Auto V, the number of views of content on which on YouTube at one time exceeded 1.9 billion. It is important, however, to understand that the statistics for GTA V was conducted in the distant 2013, and during that time the number of YouTube users has increased many times. That’s why YouTube’s video-game division doesn’t call Elden Ring the biggest release: Apparently, video hosting compares YouTube’s views to the number of users at the time the statistics were collected.
You can get all sorts of guides, walkthroughs, including speed, hints, and whatnot on YouTube right now. After all, Elden Ring is not a casual project, and there’s nothing shameful in seeking help from more experienced gamers.
