September was a busy month, thanks to a number of major new releases, and it seems several of those games have enjoyed solid initial sales in the United States, as per sales data shared by Circana analyst Mat Piscatella on Bluesky.
EA Sports FC 25 was the bestselling game in the US for the month of September, enjoying a record-breaking a launch with the highest ever launch month dollar sales for a football sim in the US to date. Compared to last year’s EA Sports FC 24, FC 25 saw double digit percent growth in its launch month sales in the US.
Trailing behind it is Astro Bot, with Sony’s acclaimed new platformer taking the No. 2 spot. Several other new titles occupy places in the charts as well, including The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom at No. 4, NBA 2K25 at No. 7, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at No. 18, though digital sales aren’t included for any of those three.
Other new releases in the charts are NHL 25 and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, while Dead Rising has also jumped up in the charts from rank 502 last month to No. 11 in September, thanks to the release of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster.
On the hardware side of things, however, things less positive, with all consoles having seen sharp declines in sales. Read more on that through here.
