Starfield Was September 2023's Best-Selling Game In US, Despite Debuting On Game Pass

Starfield Was September 2023's Best-Selling Game In US, Despite Debuting On Game Pass

The first new series in decades from Bethesda Game Studios topped the US sales charts last month, according to Circana. Starfield debuted as the top-selling video game and is already the seventh best-selling title so far in 2023. Keep in mind this successful launch--with over 10 million players already--occurred even with the spacefaring RPG releasing day and date on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as well.

Right behind Starfield was the multiplatform Mortal Kombat 1, which saw similar overall dollar sales to 2019's Mortal Kombat 11 release. What's intriguing about the fighting game is how it's the third-best-selling game on Nintendo Switch in September. Mortal Kombat 1 was heavily criticized for seemingly looking rough on Nintendo's console, and all is not well after the title's first big patch for the platform.
Coming in third was the newly named EA Sports FC 24 (previously known as the FIFA franchise).
Circana noted the soccer game saw notable growth over last year's entry, something EA previously confirmed by stating EA Sports FC 24 started better than FIFA 23.

On the hardware side of things, PS5 continued its dominance throughout this year, leading in September for unit and dollar sales. Xbox Series X|S followed in second place, and it saw single-digit percentage growth compared to the same time in 2022.

Starfield | Microsoft plans Starfield launch for PlayStation 5
For many weeks now, rumours have persisted regarding Microsoft’s intentions to release a number of 1st party games – namely Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves – on rival platforms. Starfield released back in August of 2023 to fairly positive reception (despite the narrative that now exists online), and was the biggest Bethesda game launch of all time, surpassing 6 million players within a week of release. Now it looks as though Microsoft are planning on bringing Betheda’s newest RPG universe to an entirely new platform – PlayStation 5. According to sources, we understand that currently Microsoft are planning a launch for Starfield on PlayStation 5 post the release of the already announced “Shattered Space” expansion for Xbox and PC, which is on target to arrive at some point later this year. We’ve also been informed that Microsoft have made additional investment into PlayStation 5 dev kits to support ongoing development efforts – adding further fuel to the fire. As the already existing rumours have suggested, the idea of bringing 1st party titles to competing console platforms marks a massive change in strategy for Microsoft and from what I understand, it’s not been without fierce internal debate on this new direction. Releasing Starfield on PlayStation 5 contradicts the original statement around exclusivity made by President of Xbox Sarah Bond, during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Studios summer showcase of 2021.
