Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games

About This Dataset

This chart ranks the best-selling games on the Nintendo Switch by lifetime copies sold, measured in millions, based on figures reported by Nintendo as of March 31, 2026.

✨ AI Insight

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe leads the Switch library at 71.08 million copies, more than 21 million ahead of Animal Crossing: New Horizons at 49.91 million. Every title in this top ten is published by Nintendo, underlining how strongly first-party software drives the platform. Two Legend of Zelda titles and two mainline Pokemon pairs appear, showing the pull of Nintendo's flagship series. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Super Mario Odyssey round out the upper group between 30 and 38 million. The lower half, from Pokemon Sword and Shield down to New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, still clears 18 million each, a level of sales few third-party games on any platform reach.
