The Switch 2’s First Year Delivered Major Blockbusters

Nintendo launched the Switch 2 in June 2025, and the year revealed an incredible lineup for the new hardware. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A graced the Switch 2’s software lineup as flagship Nintendo titles. These launches showed that first-party exclusives remained central to the console’s appeal.

Third-party publishers also embraced the new hardware aggressively. Games like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Star Wars Outlaws proved that next-generation performance was finally within reach on Nintendo’s portable ecosystem. The Switch 2’s six-month run already sold over 10 million units globally, establishing it as a massive commercial success.
