Hollow Knight: Silksong Leads Nintendo Switch eShop Charts for September 2025

The Nintendo Switch eShop charts for the week of September 13, 2025, have been released, once again spotlighting the enduring popularity of certain titles within Nintendo’s digital marketplace.

The weekly eShop rankings are a key barometer for both player interest and commercial success across the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms. At the very top of the charts sits Hollow Knight: Silksong, which has firmly established itself as the leading title during this period.

Silksong is the long-awaited sequel developed by Team Cherry, renowned for their ability to blend captivating gameplay with atmospheric world-building.

Since its release, Hollow Knight: Silksong has consistently drawn critical acclaim and maintained top positions in various sales charts, reflecting the robust demand from Nintendo Switch users. Following closely is the original Hollow Knight, demonstrating the franchise's continued appeal and the community’s appreciation for its challenging, finely-crafted Metroidvania experience.

Both titles highlight Team Cherry’s impressive achievement in creating a series with remarkable staying power on the eShop. Super Mario Party Jamboree, developed by Nintendo, secures third place, solidifying the Mario Party series’ legacy as a go-to choice for party gaming.

Meanwhile, perennial favorites like Super Smash Bros.

Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe maintain their positions within the top five, illustrating the long-term influence and replay value of Nintendo’s flagship franchises. Prominent titles filling out the rest of the top ten include Minecraft, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus—each with its own record-breaking sales history and popularity on the Nintendo Switch platform.

Notably, indie games such as Tiny Bookshop and Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar show a healthy diversity in player interest, highlighting the eShop’s reputation as a thriving platform for both blockbuster franchises and innovative independent releases. The download-only segment reflects a similar trend, with Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hollow Knight once again taking the top two spots.

Indie standouts like Stardew Valley and Deltarune continue to capture the attention of Switch players, while new entries such as Hello Kitty Island Adventure also make their mark.

The download-only list is rounded out by a mix of classic hits and recent debuts, including Persona 4 Golden, Tunic, and Disco Elysium, all of which have been commended for their unique contributions to the Switch’s game library. A representative summary of these rankings underscores Team Cherry's pivotal role in current eShop activity, as Hollow Knight: Silksong leads both all-game and download-only charts.

As stated by a Nintendo spokesperson recently, the success of well-crafted sequels and a dynamic mix of first-party and indie releases drive the sustained engagement on the Switch eShop. For gamers and industry watchers alike, these charts serve as a real-time temperature check on what’s trending and consistently driving Nintendo Switch sales.

They also reinforce the Nintendo Switch eShop’s reputation as a vibrant digital storefront supporting both major franchises and emerging hits.

Stay tuned for further weekly updates as new releases and continued player support shape the eShop landscape moving forward.
