## Summary

Bloodborne reportedly sold more than 251,000 copies this year, showing that demand for FromSoftware’s PlayStation action RPG remains strong more than a decade after its release. Its continued popularity comes amid fan calls for a remake or updated version, neither of which has materialised.

Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott estimates total sales at 10.4 million copies, generating $317 million (about £236 million) in revenue. He also said more than 500,000 people played the game through PlayStation Plus in October; among them, 12 per cent also played Elden Ring, 6 per cent Dark Souls 3 and 5 per cent Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The game remains a PS4 exclusive, with only backwards compatibility and smoother frame pacing on PS5; a reported remake pitch from Bluepoint did not proceed.
