Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

New Circana data reveals the best-selling Switch games of 2023 in the United States.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder were Nintendo’s biggest releases of the year, so it’s no surprise that they land at #1 and #2 respectively. Hogwarts Legacy and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope are the only titles published by third-party at #5 and #15 respectively. Hogwarts Legacy was actually 2023’s best-selling game in the U.S. market overall (all platforms) in dollar sales, which is the first time since 2008 that a non-Call of Duty or Rockstar developed title ranked first.

Here’s the full list of best-selling Switch games of 2023 in the U.S.:
