Game console sales jumped 44% in the UK during September (compared with August), driven by strong sales of all consoles and particularly the Xbox Series S and X (GfK panel data).

The Xbox platforms benefitted from the release of Starfield, with sales up 136% month-on-month. The Series X SKU was narrowly the most popular version last month, ahead of the Series S 512GB edition by just 100 units. The new 1TB Series S console was the third best-selling Xbox SKU.

Xbox Series S and X was the second most popular platform behind PlayStation 5, which also enjoyed a good month with sales up 24% over August.

Nintendo Switch fell to third position in September, but it was still a decent month for Nintendo's ageing platform, with sales up 18% over August.

The second best-selling game of the month belongs to Xbox's Starfield. After four weeks the game is narrowly behind Forza Horizon 5's launch in terms of sales, which remains the fastest-selling first-party Xbox game this generation (note: Forza Horizon 5 was also available on Xbox One).
Of course, both games were available upon release in the subscription service Game Pass, so the true scale of their success is not purely about how many copies it sold.

Two-thirds of the Starfield’s unit sales were on PC.
