## Key points

- Pokémon Pokopia has surpassed five million sales.
- It is Switch 2’s second best-selling game.
- Further downloadable content is planned for 2026.

## Summary

Pokémon Pokopia has sold more than five million copies, making it the second best-selling Nintendo Switch 2 game behind Mario Kart World. The result is significant for an unconventional Pokémon spin-off centred on community-building and relationships between Pokémon, rather than the series’ usual adventure format.

Its sales represent about 21% of the Switch 2’s reported 23.68 million owners. Mario Kart World has sold 15 million copies, though it was bundled with the console at launch; Pokopia has also received the Bubbly Basin DLC, with a further expansion adding Pokémon clothing and accessories planned for later in 2026.
