Global Sales of Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2 Surpass 5 Million Units

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company group have announced that global sales of the Pokémon Pokopia game have surpassed 5 million units across physical and digital versions, just over four months after its launch on March 5, 2026. The game is available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

Pokémon Pokopia is a relaxing life simulation game devoted to crafting and building. Players take on the role of a peculiar Ditto and restore a desolate land using its transformation skills and surprising new crafting abilities. As players cultivate the world’s natural beauty, they’ll encounter more Pokémon to work together with and build their very own cozy utopia. Plus, a free software update is out now for all Pokémon Pokopia players, adding a new Dive¹ move that allows Ditto to explore underwater.

In the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass paid DLC², players can look forward to three parts of additional content to expand their Pokémon paradise. Part 1: Bubbly Basin is available now and features an underwater town with more Pokémon to discover, new furniture to build, new food to prepare and more. Check out the launch trailer here.

Part 2 of the Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass paid DLC will release in late 2026, introducing accessories for Pokémon to wear. Part 3 is scheduled for release in 2027, so please stay tuned for more information. The Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass is available to purchase on Nintendo eShop.

Remember that Nintendo Switch 2 features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about other features, visit https://www.nintendo.com/us/gaming-systems/switch-2/features/.
