[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56659, member: 1"] In its first 60 days of release, Elden Ring became one of YouTube's biggest ever gaming launches, seeing well over 3 billion combined video views. In stats shared exclusively with IGN, Elden Ring saw 3.4 billion views in the two months after launch, dwarfing the next name on the list, GTA 5 on 1.9 billion. Of course, YouTube has grown since GTA's launch in 2013, making that something of an unfair comparison – but the far more recent Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) saw 1.4 billion, so it's clear quite how successful Elden Ring has been. YouTube Gaming stops short of calling it [I]the[/I] biggest gaming launch ever, but it's clear that FromSoftware's open world masterpiece has set an incredibly high bar for games on YouTube in the future. In large part, that's down to the hunger for different kinds of video about the game, from Let's plays, to guides, to lore explainers. YouTube Gaming also provided a list of other stats around the biggest launch videos for Elden Ring: [B]Most Viewed launch videos:[/B] [LIST] [*]CoryxKenshin - [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnpjxeDDThw']Elden Ring is Rage Game of 2022 [/URL](6.2M views) [*]AshesWolf- [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=294FLekjXY']Elden Ring - MAX LEVEL 713 VS Bosses Gameplay[/URL] (5.7M views) [*]Boomstick Gaming - [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx9IsK8qhg4']ELDEN RING | Get “Overpowered” At The Very Start[/URL] (5.3M views) [*]Joel Haver - [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6MW-qdNoYA']Elden Ring from the NPC’s Perspective [/URL](5M views) [*]JackSepticEye - [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWomHd7hlFk']Best Game In The Last 5 Years[/URL] (4.8M views) [/LIST] [B]Channels with the most Elden Ring launch views:[/B] [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/RageGamingVideosReal']RageGamingVideos[/URL] (946K subscribers) with 71.6M views [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/FightinCowboy']FightinCowboy[/URL] (1.07M subscribers) with 39.6M views [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/ArekkzGaming']Arekkz Gaming[/URL] (1.29M subscribers) with 39M views [/LIST] [B]Content Type Breakdown:[/B] [LIST] [*]VOD - 71.3% [*]Livestreams - 25.98% [*]Shorts - 2.72% [/LIST] [B]Uploads By Bosses[/B] (descending order) [LIST] [*]Margit, The Fell Omen [*]Malenia Blade of Miquella [*]Godrick the Grafted [*]Starscourge Radahn [*]Draconic Tree Sentinel [/LIST] [B]Uploads by Character Class [/B](descending order) [LIST] [*]Samurai [*]Hero [*]Wretch [*]Astrologer [*]Warrior [/LIST] YouTube Gaming also called out some of the Elden Ring community's best-known creators with 'Elden Lord Awards': [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/VaatiVidya']VaatiVidya[/URL] (2.27M subscribers) - Lore Specialist [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/Fextralife']Fextralife[/URL] (574K subscribers) - All-Knowing Guide [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/user/dist2gaming']Distortion2[/URL] (313K subscribers) - Bloodhound Stepper [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/ZullietheWitch']Zullie the Witch[/URL] (439K subscribers) - Soulsborne Scholar [*][URL='https://www.youtube.com/c/RichaadEB']RichaadEB[/URL] (568K subscribers) - Tarnished Tunemaker [/LIST] Finally, the team also acknowledged perhaps Elden Ring's best-known hero, Let Me Solo Her – the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/let-me-solo-her-elden-ring-community-hero']player that took on the game's hardest boss[/URL] more than [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/elden-ring-let-me-solo-her-livestream-1000th-malenia-kill']a thousand times,[/URL] and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/elden-ring-bandai-namco-let-me-solo-her-recognition']earned a real-life sword for their efforts[/URL].
