Nearly two months removed from the June 5 launch of the wildly successful Nintendo Switch 2, new data details the performance of the platform’s launch-day third-party titles.

The sales data, from gaming market intelligence firm Newzoo and shared by GI.biz, comprises “digital revenue (eShop only) and engagement data from six key markets: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. Newzoo product manager Max Otten says that “this data excludes physical units, which remain highly relevant for some titles, particularly Nintendo’s first-party releases and around launch when games will be purchased alongside hardware.”

Based on the number of units sold via the U.S. eShop in June 2025, Deltarune tops the list of third-party Switch 2 bestsellers. Hogwarts Legacy follows at No. 2, with Fast Fusion, Cyberpunk 2077, and Split Fiction closing out the top five titles.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma took No. 6, and Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster stole No. 7. Street Fighter 6, Hitman World of Assassination, and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut round out the top 10. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Sonic X Shadow Generations, and Survival Kids sit at the bottom of the list.

When ranked according to total U.S. eShop revenue, however, Fortnite takes No. 1. Despite being a free-to-play game, the multiplayer hit still held strong at the top, relying on impulsive, in-game purchases called “microtransactions” to generate revenue.

Most surprising, perhaps, is the performance of older titles. Other than all-new indie darling Deltarune, 3D adventure game Survival Kids, and F-Zero-like Fast Fusion, nearly all of the top performers predate the console itself; Hogwarts Legacy was initially released in February 2023, Cyberpunk 2077 in December 2020, and Split Fiction in March 2025.

The oldest titles on the list, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy and Yakuza 0, were first released in October 2012 and March 2015, respectively. While the Switch 2-exclusive enhanced versions — Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster and Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut — offer unique visual enhancements and, in the latter’s case, all-new multiplayer functionality, the base games are nearly the same.

All in all, Otten says the brand’s goal was to determine whether Nintendo’s new handheld offered “a viable ecosystem for third-party titles.” Despite attitudes concerning third-party performance having seemingly leveled out, industry experts’ feelings were different two weeks after launch. A post-launch report from The Game Business‘s Christopher Dring says that “most third-party Switch 2 games posted very low numbers.” What’s more, one unnamed publisher said sales failed to meet their “lowest estimates” despite the console’s commercial success.

With myriad consumer complaints regarding hardware costs and the brand’s shift away from traditional cartridges to download-only Game Key Cards, some critics expected buyers to reject the reintroduction of existing releases.

Newzoo cites technical upgrades as a primary driver behind player engagement spikes. Unsurprisingly, first-party titles still reign supreme, but the analytics firm says third-party games’ “early signals suggest a broader opportunity for third-party developers than we’ve seen on previous Nintendo platforms, especially for well-optimized, genre-expanding games.”
