Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have confirmed that Pokémon Pokopia has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide across physical and digital formats, a milestone reached just over four months after the game's launch on March 5, 2026.
The title is available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The companies reported combined sales figures that include both boxed and downloadable editions.
Released as a relaxed life-simulation experience centered on crafting and building, Pokémon Pokopia puts players in control of a unique Ditto character tasked with restoring a once-desolate landscape using transformation and new crafting abilities.
In an official statement, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company summarized the game's premise and post-launch support: Pokémon Pokopia emphasizes peaceful exploration and cooperative encounters with other Pokémon as players cultivate natural environments and construct a personalized utopia.
The publishers also noted that a free software update has rolled out to all owners, introducing a new Dive1 move that enables Ditto to explore underwater areas.
Post-launch content is being delivered through a paid Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass.
The Expansion Pass is structured in three parts:
- Part 1 — Bubbly Basin: Available now.
This content adds an underwater town with additional Pokémon, new furniture recipes, and new food items.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company released a launch trailer for this part.
- Part 2: Scheduled for late 2026.
This installment will introduce accessories that players can equip on their Pokémon.
- Part 3: Planned for release in 2027.
Further details will be announced at a later date.
The Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass is available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop, and players can download the free Dive1 update through the same platform.
Nintendo has also shared early prototype footage of the game for fans interested in the project’s development history.
With the five-million sales benchmark, Pokémon Pokopia joins a growing list of successful exclusive releases on Nintendo Switch 2.
The title’s mix of calming gameplay, crafting systems, and structured expansion content positions it as a notable post-launch success for Nintendo and The Pokémon Company in 2026.
