The Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of January 18, 2026, offer a compelling snapshot of current player trends and digital sales successes across Nintendo’s next-generation platform.
The latest rankings showcase the enduring popularity of animal simulation phenomenon Animal Crossing: New Horizons, while also spotlighting a strong debut for Square Enix’s highly anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. Topping the all-games category this week is the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Upgrade Pack, confirming the ongoing appeal of Nintendo’s beloved life simulation series.
Despite the game’s original 2020 launch and multi-year dominance, the refreshed Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and its regular upgrades keep its player base engaged and expanding.
Animal Crossing’s continued presence at number one underscores Nintendo’s ability to create evergreen franchises that resonate with both longtime fans and new audiences on updated hardware. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, developed by Square Enix, has made a notable impact even prior to its official release.
With pre-loads now available via the Switch 2 eShop, the title has surged to the number two spot on the combined all-games chart.
The Digital Deluxe Edition of the remake, while just outside the top five, signals robust demand for premium content packages, particularly for high-profile RPG launches. Completing the top five are Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, reflecting both the strength of Nintendo’s classic IPs and the draw of significant franchise expansions.
Mario Kart World, Madden NFL 26, Kirby Air Riders, and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition round out the top ten, providing a wide variety of gameplay experiences available through the Switch 2 ecosystem. Download-only titles also make a mark, with Hades 2 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition achieving the number one spot among digital releases, followed by Stardew Valley – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
Notably, indie and third-party games such as Hollow Knight: Silksong and PowerWash Simulator 2 are securing significant traction alongside traditional AAA offerings, highlighting the diverse portfolio available on Nintendo’s digital storefront. A Nintendo spokesperson commented on the evolving landscape of the Switch 2 eShop, noting that continuous software support and a mix of established blockbusters and inventive indie games help maintain strong player engagement week after week.
This variety is evident in the weekly charts, where major titles share space with innovative digital-first projects. Since its launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 platform has been characterized by robust digital sales and sustained momentum from key franchises.
As these eShop charts illustrate, the synergy between beloved Nintendo series, prominent third-party releases, and compelling indie offerings ensures the Switch 2 continues to be a leading destination for diverse gaming experiences.
