The Nintendo Switch 2 has no shortage of great exclusive games, from life-sims featuring Pokemon to an open-world Mario Kart game, or even a 3D platformer with an incredibly unique mechanic like Donkey Kong Bananza. If you think there’s nothing worthwhile on the system, you haven’t been paying attention.
Following Nintendo’s latest financial earnings report covering sales data through June 30, 2026, we now have a clear, official look at the software dominating the platform. From massive flagship launches to surprise multiplayer hits, these are the best-selling Nintendo Switch 2 titles ranked by worldwide lifetime sales.
Do note, I’m only listing the Top 6 as those are the only ones properly available on Nintendo’s website. Furthermore, the reported software figures represent total worldwide consolidated sales in units life-to-date. These totals account for both physical packaged games and digital eShop downloads, while also incorporating software units distributed as part of hardware bundles or special promotional packages.
The Best-Selling Nintendo Switch 2 Games
The following are the best performing Switch 2 exclusive games:
- Mario Kart World
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Pokemon Legends: Z-A
- Pokemon Pokopia
- Kirby Air Riders
- Mario Party Jamboree
While games like Pokemon Legends or Mario Party Jamboree are on the og Switch, this list only counts the Switch 2 software sold.
1. Mario Kart World: 15.39 Million Units
Taking the top spot by an absolute landslide, Mario Kart World has proven once again that the franchise is Nintendo’s big system seller, sorry Smash Bros.
Shattering early adoption records, this open-world take on the iconic kart racer has already moved over 15 million copies globally. This is combining bundled console units with massive digital eShop sales; statistically speaking, you are more likely to find a Switch 2 user that owns this than one who doesn’t.
2. Donkey Kong Bananza: 4.78 Million Units
Donkey Kong’s triumphant return to high-octane 3D platforming has paid off in a big way.
Sitting comfortably in second place with nearly 5 million units sold, Donkey Kong Bananza has made fans forget about not having a 3D Mario since Odyssey thanks to its unique destructive physics, incredibly engaging level design, and the right amount of that infectious Nintendo charm.
3. Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: 3.99 Million Units
The enhanced Switch 2 edition of Pokemon Legends: Z-A is perhaps the definitive way of enjoying Game Freak’s latest title in the franchise, until Winds and Waves that is.
By taking full advantage of the upgraded hardware to deliver smoother frame rates and denser Lumiose City environments, this definitive edition has quickly approached the 4-million-mark worldwide.
4. Pokemon Pokopia: 3.68 Million Units
Proving that spin-off titles can hit just as hard as the mainline entries, the cozy life-sim experience of Pokemon Pokopia has become a massive breakout hit.
Garnering 3.68 million sales, its blend of relaxed Dragon Quest Builders town-building gameplay loop and the gotta catch ‘em all Pokemon collection mechanics has kept players hooked since day one. Even more now that DLC has arrived.
5. Kirby Air Riders: 1.90 Million Units
A fan-favorite cult classic concept reborn for a new generation, Kirby Air Riders has carved out a solid audience with 1.90 million copies sold.
It's a rather gimmicky racing game if you ask me, but the high-speed vehicle combat and chaotic multiplayer modes make it one of the most unique arcade racers available on the system.
6. Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: 1.15 Million Units
Rounding out the top six is the Switch 2 upgraded release of Super Mario Party Jamboree.
Crossing the 1-million-unit threshold, this expanded version adds a few gimmicky new ways of playing the game. I’m not particularly fond of any, but fans have taken a liking to it as it managed to make its way to the Top 6.
