Skyrim: Steam’s Fastest Seller Ever

Valve has declared The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim its fastest-selling game ever. Valve’s director of business development, Jason Holtman, said in a recent statement that, “Skyrim is the fastest selling title in Steam’s history,” after it sold 3.5 million copies in 48 hours when it launched in the second week of November.

“Bethesda’s commitment to and understanding of the PC as a gaming platform shows in the great review scores, spectacular launch, and continued high player numbers that Skyrim has received.”

Bethesda has shipped 10 million units of Skyrim on all formats and estimates that RPG has made $650 million (around £418 million) since its launch.
