Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for May 2021.
Compared to last year, Switch sales have fallen – but keep in mind that the COIVD-19 lockdown and launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons provided a significant boost in 2020. Switch sales are actually up 60 percent year-to-date compared to 2019. As for May specifically, Switch sales were behind those of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Miitopia, a new release for Switch in May, came in at #19. It’s possible that the title could have charted higher had Nintendo reported digital sales.
Here’s a look at the best sellers of May:
Cross-play support is coming to Overwatch, Blizzard has announced. When active, Switch players will be able to go up against others on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Cross-progression is not planned for launch though the team is exploring that functionality.

The Overwatch Cross-Play Beta launches soon Switch. You can check out information about how to link your Battle.net account to your console account and get your questions answered here. We also have a developer update video below.
