Without a doubt, September 2018 was jam-packed with great video game launches, as titles such asSpider Man,FIFA 19, andDestiny 2: Forsakenall had to vie for supremacy among a small sea of other solid releases. As it so happens, Bungie’s science fiction shooter wound up leading the pack somewhat, as the game’sForsakenexpansion helped the action-RPG top digital console sales for the month.
According to SuperData’s figures,Destiny 2was able to take the top spot in digital console sales due to 60 percent of the science fiction shooter sequel’s monthly active users purchasing itsForsakenexpansion. Insomniac Games’Spider-Mancame in second place for the month, EA Sports’FIFA 19took the third spot, and Epic Games' wildly successfulFortnite: Battle Royale was pushed from its long-running placement at the top of the list down to fourth.
WhileDestiny 2reigned supreme in this department for the month,NBA 2K19rounded out the top five for September 2018’s digital console game sales, with digital console unit sales for Visual Concepts' latest entry in 2K Sports' pro basketball franchise being up year-over-year fromNBA 2K18. Those interested in the rest of the top 10 for September 2018’s digital console sales would do well to consult the full list below.
SinceDestiny 2’s digital console sales for September 2018 were goosed by itsForsakenDLC, it’s safe to presume that the title will fall a few spots on the above chart in October due to the fact that the highly anticipatedRed Dead Redemption 2has finally become available. After all, Rockstar Games has already confirmed thatRDR2has managed to achieve “the single-biggest opening weekend in the history of entertainment”, so it will be interesting to see just what October 2018’s digital console sales numbers are for the open world western.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
