Pokémon Pokopia is only a week old, and it’s already one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s best-selling titles. On Thursday, Nintendo announced the Pokémon spinoff sold over 2.2 million copies in its first four days on sale, with 1 million of those in Japan alone.

Those 2.2 million sales are good enough to make it the fourth-best-selling title on Switch 2 behind Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (3.89 million), Donkey Kong Bananza (4.25 million), and Mario Kart World (a whopping 14.03 million). Kirby Air Riders rounds out the top five with 1.76 million copies sold. There is a caveat to this in that the data for the other games in the top five captures sales until the end of 2025, so there is a slight chance Kirby Air Riders sold more than Pokopia‘s 2.2 million with its 2026 sales factored in. Even if that’s the case, though, being in the top five is still a feather in Pokopia‘s cap.

It’s not like Nintendo Switch 2 owners aren’t starved for first-party offerings, either. Nearly every month since its launch, a new flagship title has been released for Nintendo Switch 2. Sometimes they’re full games, like December’s Metroid Prime 4 and February’s Mario Tennis Fever. Other months have gotten expansions for great Switch games, like August’s Kirby and the Forgotten Land‘s Star-Crossed World upgrade. (And they’ve all made it onto our list of best Switch 2 games.)

Pokémon Pokopia has done well relative to other Pokémon spinoff games as well. As the King of Pokémon himself Joe Merrick pointed out on X, Pokopia is one of 13 Pokémon spinoffs to sell over two million copies. (And there’s been a lot of spinoffs over the series’ nine generations thus far.)

Physical copies of Pokopia were briefly sold out for a time, and Amazon temporarily raised the game’s price to $80 in response. (It’s back in stock at major retailers, and back to $69.99 at Amazon, at this time of writing.) Pokopia has done so well that Nintendo’s stock gained over 10% in value, Bloomberg recently reported.

Players and critics alike have been loving Pokémon Pokopia as it’s also one of the Switch 2’s best-reviewed games. It sits at an 89 on both OpenCritic and Metacritic.
