"Repeat sales of existing titles such as Elden Ring were strong, especially overseas, worldwide sales reaching 20.5 million," the report said. "New worldwide titles got off to slow starts, but smaller more medium-sized products moved steadily.

“We expect a pullback in repeat Elden Ring sales, which made a particularly large contribution to this previous year,” a translation of the report adds.
