Nintendo Switch's Top-Selling Games: The Definitive List (2025 Update)
2025-08-03 03:15:00Nintendo has officially updated its ranking of the all-time best-selling Nintendo Switch titles, showcasing the console's most commercially successful games. The Nintendo Switch continues its historic run, rapidly approaching the Nintendo DS's record as Nintendo's best-selling hardware platform. This remarkable achievement stems largely from the system's exceptional game library that appeals to all types of players.
Since its 2017 debut, the Switch has amassed an unparalleled collection of high-quality titles from both Nintendo and third-party developers. The platform's software sales figures, updated quarterly by Nintendo, demonstrate the enduring popularity of its flagship games.
The latest update to Nintendo's official sales rankings maintains the same top 10 hierarchy, though each entry has seen notable sales growth. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe continues its dominance with 68.86 million copies sold, followed by Animal Crossing: New Horizons at 48.19 million. The top five is completed by Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (36.55 million), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (33.04 million), and Super Mario Odyssey (29.50 million).
Below is the complete breakdown of the Switch's top-performing games as of June 30, 2025, along with their previous sales figures for comparison:
Game Title | Units Sold (as of June 30, 2025) | Previous Units Sold (as of May 2025) |
---|---|---|
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | 68.86 million | 68.20 million |
Animal Crossing: New Horizons | 48.19 million | 47.82 million |
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate | 36.55 million | 36.24 million |
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | 33.04 million | 32.81 million |
Super Mario Odyssey | 29.50 million | 29.28 million |
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet | 27.15 million | 26.79 million |
Pokemon Sword and Shield | 26.84 million | 26.72 million |
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | 21.93 million | 21.73 million |
Super Mario Party | 21.19 million | 21.16 million |
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe | 18.36 million | 18.25 million |
The current rankings appear relatively stable, though New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe may eventually be displaced by newer titles. Super Mario Party Jamboree, widely regarded as one of the franchise's best entries, could potentially surpass its predecessor in the charts. However, with the Switch 2 now available, attention is shifting toward Nintendo's next-generation platform.
As the Switch 2 establishes its own library, early indicators suggest Mario Kart World (5.62 million sales) will lead its sales charts. Anticipated titles like Donkey Kong Bananza are also expected to perform strongly. While new Zelda and Mario games have yet to debut on Switch 2, their eventual releases will provide fascinating comparisons to their Switch predecessors' remarkable sales performance.
