Bloodborne Is Still Selling More Than a Decade After Launch

Bloodborne is still finding buyers more than a decade after its debut. According to a new report, the game sold more than 251,000 copies in 2026 alone. For a title that first arrived in March 2015 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive, that is a solid showing, and it suggests the game has built a lasting audience well past its launch window.

The game was developed by FromSoftware under director Hidetaka Miyazaki, the team behind the Souls series. Where Demon's Souls and Dark Souls drew on medieval fantasy, Bloodborne moved the action to Yharnam, a gothic city stricken by a beast plague, and leaned into the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft. Its combat was faster and more aggressive than its predecessors, rewarding players who stayed on the attack and took risks to win back lost health. That combination of atmosphere and punishing, rewarding play is a big reason it still gets recommended to new players.

The report does not break down where those copies came from, so it is unclear how much of the total came from digital storefronts, physical discs, or backward-compatible play on newer hardware. It also does not say whether any follow-up is in the works. Fans have asked for a sequel for years, and nothing in the report suggests one is currently in development.

Even so, the numbers make a case for the game's staying power. Few releases from the PS4 era still move meaningful copies this long after launch, and Bloodborne's sales show that its mix of dread, challenge, and art direction has held up with players who are discovering it for the first time.
