The Entertainment Software Association of Canada and Circana (formerly NPD) have revealed the best-selling games in Canada in September.

  1. Starfield (Xbox Series X/S, PC)
  2. EA Sports FC 24 (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC)
  3. Mortal Kombat 1 (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC)
  4. The Crew: Motorfest (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC)
  5. Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC)
  6. Madden NFL 24 (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC)
  7. Hogwarts Legacy (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC)
  8. NBA 2K24 (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC) [digital sales not included]
  9. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch) [digital sales not included]
  10. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC)

Clearly, Starfield, the first new property from Bethesda in 25 years, has clicked with people. However, what’s notable is that the open-world sci-fi RPG is included with an Xbox Game Pass membership, so this data shows that many people still bought it at the new $89.99 price tag for Xbox games in Canada. It’s worth noting that developer Bethesda Game Studios has a team in Montreal, which likely led to the inclusion of Canadian food items in the game.

And speaking of Canada, EA Sports FC 24 — the latest entry in the soccer video game series formerly known as FIFA — was developed by EA Vancouver. Elsewhere on the list is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, which was primarily made by California’s Infinity Ward but had Quebec City-based Beenox assisting development.

What’s also interesting about this list is that Hogwarts Legacy charted again after its launch in February. The Switch version doesn’t actually drop until next month, so it’s likely it will make it onto November’s best-sellers list as well.
