Five new releases entered the chart in September: EA Sports FC 25, NBA 2K25, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (top three spots). The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom took 5th place, and Astro Bot reached 14th. Final Fantasy XVI ranked 15th after launching on PC following a period of exclusivity on PlayStation.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and surprisingly Star Wars Outlaws led sales on PC (Steam). This is notable, given the news of weaker sales for Star Wars Outlaws. Other strong performers on PC included Final Fantasy XVI (7th), Frostpunk 2 (10th), and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (15th).
Astro Bot secured 5th place in PlayStation revenue. Palworld, debuting on PlayStation, came in at 14th.
On Nintendo Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom held the top sales position, typical for Nintendo games. Interestingly, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed ranked 7th on Switch but didn’t make the top 20 on other platforms.
MAU - All Platforms
Two new titles appeared in the MAU ranking: EA Sports FC 25 and NBA 2K25, with annual franchise turnover.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III re-entered PlayStation’s top 20 MAU list, likely as players revisit it ahead of a new series installment.
On Xbox, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 made the top 20 for MAU, although it didn’t achieve this on other platforms.
