there&#8217;s a damn good reason why these sports sims are wheeled out every 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Still, to see them push the likes of Hollow Knight: Silksong and Borderlands 4 aside \u2014 two titles plenty of people have been waiting on for <em>years<\/em> \u2014 is once again testament to how vast the market is beyond our hardcore bubble.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for other new releases, Dying Light: The Beast did pretty well for itself in both regions, even though it feels like the hype&#8217;s been a little dry surrounding Techland&#8217;s sort-of-sequel.<\/p>\n<p>Silent Hill F also made the top 10 in both charts, but many will have expected it to be placed a little higher. While it did launch late in the month \u2014 on the 25th \u2014 the vast majority of games do sell the bulk of their copies on release, and so it&#8217;s worth questioning.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, there&#8217;s no getting away from the fact that September was a very busy month, and a lot of players will have been forced into prioritising one purchase over another.<\/p>\n<p>Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds probably falls into that camp as well. SEGA&#8217;s racer just scraped into the US and Canada chart, but it didn&#8217;t even register in Europe&#8217;s top 20.<\/p>\n<p>The same thing happened with Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, but that one dropped on the 30th, so you can <em>probably<\/em> cut it a bit more slack.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the two charts for your perusal:<\/p>\n<table class=\"table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>US\/Canada<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>EU<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>NBA 2K26<\/td>\n<td>EA Sports FC 26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Borderlands 4<\/td>\n<td>Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EA Sports FC 26<\/td>\n<td>Borderlands 4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/td>\n<td>NBA 2K26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26<\/td>\n<td>Dying Light: The Beast<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dying Light: The Beast<\/td>\n<td>Grand Theft Auto V<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Grand Theft Auto V<\/td>\n<td>Forza Horizon 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>NHL 26<\/td>\n<td>Minecraft<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SILENT HILL f<\/td>\n<td>Ready or Not<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EA SPORTS College Football 26<\/td>\n<td>SILENT HILL f<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ready or Not<\/td>\n<td>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>HELLDIVERS 2<\/td>\n<td>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"for-mobile\">\n<td colspan=\"100%\" style=\"padding:0; overflow:hidden;\">\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_V68DEFFA8EC651\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Forza Horizon 5<\/td>\n<td>Hogwarts Legacy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Minecraft<\/td>\n<td>NHL 26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>METAL GEAR SOLID \u0394: SNAKE EATER<\/td>\n<td>Mafia: The Old Country<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds<\/td>\n<td>UFC 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No Man\u2019s Sky<\/td>\n<td>METAL GEAR SOLID \u0394: SNAKE EATER<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gears of War: Reloaded<\/td>\n<td>Hell is Us<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>FINAL FANTASY TACTICS \u2013 The Ivalice Chronicles<\/td>\n<td>Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hell is Us<\/td>\n<td>It Takes Two<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Which PS5 games did you buy from the PS Store last month?
