Excitement for Elden Ring is reaching critical mass, becoming the most wishlisted game on Steam.
As first spotted by Eurogamer, FromSoftware’s upcoming action RPG is now on more user wishlists than any other game on the platform, a staggering feat when considering how massive Steam has become. Before this, Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human was the reigning champ, yet not even zombies are enough to thwart what even Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin is singing the praises of well ahead of release.
Hidetaka Miyazaki recently said he believes Elden Ring will be FromSoftware’s crowning achievement, even surpassing Dark Souls in terms of quality. Fair prediction, considering Miyazaki directed both games!
Time hastens on, friend. There is no fitter moment than now.

Steam is by many metrics the biggest video game storefront, boasting upward of 27 million concurrent users at times. So Elden Ring taking this crown is no short order, and it’s almost a certainty that it’ll be one of the platform’s most popular titles by year’s end. Elden Ring also won The Game Award’s most-anticipated game for the second year running.
We’ll find out if Elden Ring lives up to the hype when it releases Feb. 24 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
