Starfield drives two best sales weeks for Xbox Series X/S this year in the UK
13.09.2023 - 11:59 / videogameschronicle.com / Xbox Series / Best / Series X
Xbox Series X/S sales reached a new weekly high for 2023 coinciding with Starfield’s early access release.
Sales of Microsoft’s consoles were up 76% week-on-week for the seven days ended on September 2, according to data from market research firm GfK, which was published on GamesIndustry.biz.
Bethesda’s sci-fi RPG was released on September 6 for Xbox Series X/S, PC via Windows and Steam, and Game Pass, but players who pre-ordered its Premium Edition or Constellation Edition were able to start playing five days earlier.
Microsoft also launched the new Series S 1TB model on September 1, which accounted for 24% of total Xbox Series console sales during the week in question.
The following week, ended September 9, was also the second best of the year for Xbox Series X/S sales in the UK, according to GfK.
The upturn follows a slow year for UK Xbox hardware sales, which were down almost 23% year-to-date as of the end of August.
Starfield also appears to have broken Microsoft‘s record for the biggest launch day for an Xbox Game Studios title.

I've tested countless Nintendo Switch accessories - this is the deal I've been waiting for
I've had a fair few gadgets plugged into my Nintendo Switch, but none have been as handy as the Genki Covert Dock. This little charger doubles up as a completely safe, travel-friendly Switch dock with just an HDMI and USB-C cable required. The best part? Walmart's latest Nintendo Switch deals have dropped it to its lowest price yet - and that's rare considering we only started seeing any discounts on this gizmo a few months ago.
