Starfield was comfortably No.1 across Europe during its launch week, GSD data shows.
The Xbox game, which is also on PC, became the fastest-selling new IP of the year, and the fifth fastest-selling game of the year overall. Its launch sales are ahead of Final Fantasy 16 and Resident Evil 4, but behind Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
The data isn’t quite like-for-like, as Starfield was technically available a week earlier for those who purchased the premium edition, so had a few extra days of sales. Starfield was also a day one Xbox Game Pass release, and that data isn’t included here, either.
The game just about comes ahead of Forza Horizon 5 as the biggest Xbox launch this generation across Europe.
Elsewhere, digital deals on Titanfall 2 and Need for Speed: Heat propelled both games back into the Top Ten. Titanfall 2 also saw some bug fixes from developer Respawn over the last week.
