Welcome back to the Canadian edition of Charting in the Clouds, where we look at Canada’s top-selling games of September 2026 and where you can play them in the cloud. Marvel’s Wolverine takes the number one spot, with NBA 2K27 moving to second after topping August’s chart. The Blood of Dawnwalker debuts in third place.
September changes almost everything. Only NBA 2K27 and Elden Ring carry over from August. Six new launches enter the top 10, along with ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE, which reached sixth during its early-access period. Resident Evil: Requiem also returns after missing August.
Nine of September’s top 10 have at least one cloud gaming option. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is the only exception.
Let’s take a closer look at Canada’s top-selling games for September 2026.

Marvel’s Wolverine Takes First as NBA 2K27 Moves to Second
Marvel’s Wolverine launched September 15th on PlayStation 5 and went straight to number one. There’s something pretty fitting about seeing Logan at the top of Canada’s chart. His story began in Alberta, after all.
NBA 2K27’s Standard Edition launched September 4th after Deluxe and Ultra Edition owners had early access in August. It’s still near the top, although Circana doesn’t separate sales by edition, so we can’t tell which version contributed most.
The Blood of Dawnwalker rounds out the top three after launching September 3rd on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC. That leaves NBA 2K27 between two September launches in the top three.
Onimusha and Fire Emblem Enter the Top Five
It’s been more than 20 years since the last game in the Onimusha series was released. Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched September 4th and enters Canada’s chart at fourth.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave follows at fifth after launching September 17th exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. And that’s just from physical sales. Nintendo’s digital sales aren’t included in Circana’s Canadian chart.
ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE enters at sixth after Deluxe Edition early access began September 29th. Its worldwide launch followed October 2nd. That’s two months in a row we’ve seen a game reach Canada’s top 10 before its standard launch, following NBA 2K27 in August.
NHL 27 and SILENT HILL: Townfall Join the Top 10
And yes, hockey made the list too. EA SPORTS NHL 27 comes in seventh after launching September 11th, just ahead of the new NHL season.
Horror fans have two games in the bottom half of the chart. SILENT HILL: Townfall debuts at eighth after launching September 24th, while Resident Evil: Requiem returns at ninth after missing August. Before that break, it had spent six straight months in Canada’s top 10.
Elden Ring slips from fourth to tenth, but it’s still hanging on after the August 28th Nintendo Switch 2 launch of Elden Ring Tarnished Edition. That gives it two straight months in the top 10. Circana doesn’t separate sales by platform, so we can’t say how much the Nintendo Switch 2 version contributed.
August had four PlayStation games in the top 10: MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Helldivers II, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Every one of them is gone in September, even as Marvel’s Wolverine takes first. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, Grand Theft Auto V, MLB The Show 26, and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream also drop out.
September 2026 Wrap Up and Look Ahead
October has several games I’ll be watching when the next Canadian sales chart arrives. ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE launched worldwide on October 2nd after reaching sixth in September through early access. Gears of War: E-Day followed on October 6th, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort launched on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22nd, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 arrived October 23rd.
I’m interested to see whether any of these games can challenge Marvel’s Wolverine for number one. I’m also curious how many of September’s new entries can hang on for another month, especially with so many major games launching in October.
