Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Tops Nintendo Switch 2 eShop Charts for October 2025

The Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of October 5, 2025, have been released, providing valuable insight into player preferences and the continued evolution of the digital marketplace on Nintendo’s latest hardware.

This iteration of the Switch continues to solidify its position as a leader in the home console market, with a robust catalog of both blockbuster titles and indie favorites fueling strong sales through the Nintendo eShop. A major highlight this week is the impressive debut of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles at the top of the all-games chart.

This marks a significant shift, as the coveted number one position was previously held by Hades 2, which now moves to the second spot.

The sustained popularity of both releases underscores a healthy appetite among Switch 2 owners for deep, strategic gameplay and acclaimed narrative design. The trading of places at the top showcases the ongoing competition between genre-defining franchises and contemporary hits.

Donkey Kong Bananza, EA Sports FC 26, and Hollow Knight: Silksong round out the top five, demonstrating strong diversity across action-platformer, sports, and indie metroidvania experiences.

Meanwhile, popular returning favorites like Mario Kart World, Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, and Madden NFL 26 maintain significant traction, reflecting consistent demand for established multiplayer experiences. In a statement provided by Nintendo, the company noted that the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts are a testament to the platform's "versatile library and the passion of our engaged player base." The statement reinforces Nintendo's commitment to supporting both new releases and classic franchises on Switch hardware. The download-only section of the charts highlights the continued growth of digital-exclusive titles in Nintendo’s ecosystem.

LEGO Voyagers leads this category, followed by critically acclaimed Deltarune and Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster.

New entries such as Drag x Drive and The Touryst Deluxe signal opportunities for emerging developers to capture audience attention alongside enduring IPs like the Arcade Archives 2 lineup. Nintendo’s digital storefront, accessible via the eShop on both Switch and Switch 2 systems, remains a crucial channel for discovery.

Players can find everything from major retail releases to niche download-only adventures, with comprehensive charts offering a weekly snapshot of what’s trending in the Nintendo ecosystem. As the Nintendo Switch 2 continues its lifecycle, supported by first-party hits, third-party partnerships, and an increasingly active indie scene, the weekly eShop charts serve as a reliable barometer of the platform’s vibrant, diverse gaming community.

With Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles now leading the pack, all eyes are on which title will next capture the top spot in Nintendo’s rapidly evolving digital landscape.
