Starfield, Skyrim developer Bethesda’s latest release, became the top best-selling premium game in dollar sales since its release on September 6.

According to Circana data, Starfield was the top paid game last month, beating out Warner Bros. Games’ Mortal Kombat 1, EA Sports FC 24, and Madden NFL 24. At time of writing, Starfield is also the seventh best-selling premium game of the year, selling more copies than Bandai Namco’s Elden Ring and Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XVI, to name a few. 

Microsoft, which owns Xbox and Bethesda, confirmed that Starfield’s release was great for its business, spiking the number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers. In its quarterly earnings call Tuesday, Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said that Microsoft’s gaming division saw a 9% spike in revenue—primarily due to Starfield’s release and a concurrent jump in Xbox Game Pass subscriptions (Starfield is included in Game Pass).
