Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced that Pokémon Pokopia has sold over five million copies globally, meaning that roughly one in four Switch 2 users now owns the game. This impressive number was achieved just four months after the game's release. The sales include both physical and digital editions. As of May 2026, Nintendo has sold over 20 million Switch 2 units, which means that approximately 25% of Switch 2 owners now own a copy of Pokémon Pokopia.
This popularity of the game is significant, considering that Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, has sold 3.99 million units. Only Mario Kart World has achieved higher sales on the Switch 2, with over 15.39 million copies sold. The recent release of Poképoka's Expansion Pass, available as paid downloadable content, has further boosted the game's popularity.
Pokémon Pokopia is published by Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, who aim to reduce their dependence on major titles by prioritizing portfolio balance with ports, remasters, and smaller projects aimed at loyal communities.
