Nintendo has officially confirmed that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has surpassed one million units sold across its two hardware platforms, the Nintendo Switch and the newly released Nintendo Switch 2.
This announcement arrived in the wake of the company’s latest financial report, offering a detailed look at its performance during a crucial period for releases. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, developed and published by Nintendo, marked its worldwide launch at the beginning of December.
Despite only being on the market for less than a month by the close of the latest reporting period on December 31, 2023, the highly anticipated sequel managed to achieve this significant sales milestone.
The figures combine performance from both versions of the game, reflecting consumer enthusiasm for the franchise’s return after more than a decade since its last numbered entry. The financial report details the impressive demand that greeted Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s debut.
While Nintendo did not disclose an exact unit count for the title, the company’s million-seller listing confirms that the combined sales on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 have exceeded the one million mark.
This threshold positions Metroid Prime 4: Beyond alongside other high-profile Nintendo exclusives that have rapidly reached similar milestones in their launch windows. Reframing a Nintendo representative’s recent comments, the company acknowledged that Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has joined its roster of freshly minted million-sellers.
However, it is important to note that its figures are based solely on the first month of the game's availability.
At the time of reporting, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond had not yet reached the sustained sales figures of perennial hits like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which are considered 'evergreen' titles in the Nintendo catalog. The Metroid Prime franchise has long held a dedicated fanbase, and the success of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond demonstrates continued support for the series on modern Nintendo platforms.
The strong debut underscores the excitement that accompanied both the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware launch and the return of this critically acclaimed action-adventure series. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is available now worldwide for both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
For the latest information on Nintendo's million-selling titles and access to digital purchases, fans can visit the Nintendo eShop.
The full financial report, which includes more details on Nintendo’s overall performance and additional top-selling games, is now publicly accessible on Nintendo’s official investor relations website.
