Nintendo’s racer lands at #3 – and that’s without digital data included (Nintendo is one of the few publishers that doesn’t report that information).

Newzoo compiled new digital data and published a report that offers insight into the best-selling Nintendo Switch 2 games during launch month in June. The information is based on sales from six key markets: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy.

The top five best sellers were Deltarune, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Mario Kart World, Minecraft, and No Man’s Sky in that order. Minecraft doesn’t have its own Nintendo Switch 2 version, but has Switch 1 backwards compatibility. Keep in mind that sales from the Mario Kart World hardware bundle are not factored in.
