Pokémon Pokopia Surpasses 5 Million Sales on Switch 2 With First DLC Out
Pokémon Pokopia has quickly turned early skepticism into a clear sales milestone: The Pokémon Company says the Nintendo Switch 2 title has now surpassed 5 million units sold, counting both digital and physical copies. The cozy, Pokémon-themed sandbox adventure has also already laid groundwork for ongoing content with its first major DLC release.
Release timeline and availability
| Item | Platform | Release date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pokémon Pokopia | Nintendo Switch 2 | 5 March 2026 | Now reported at over 5 million sales (digital + physical) |
| Pokémon Pokopia: Blubbmeeria | Nintendo Switch 2 | 5 August 2026 | First major DLC; includes a new city that can be explored underwater |
The sales figure arrives not long after the game’s launch. Pokémon Pokopia debuted on 5 March 2026 and, despite a portion of initial criticism before release—especially around expectations for how well a Pokémon-focused building/sandbox approach would land—it has ended up becoming a major purchase driver for the Nintendo Switch 2.
First major DLC adds an underwater city
Continuing the momentum, Pokémon Pokopia has received its first big downloadable content update: Pokémon Pokopia: Blubbmeeria, described as starting with Update 2.0.0. The DLC’s headline feature is the ability to explore a brand-new town entirely underwater, adding a fresh setting to the game’s ongoing exploration and building loop.
Early doubts give way to strong demand
The latest milestone underscores how the game’s reception shifted after launch. While not everyone was immediately convinced before release, the combination of a Pokémon-themed sandbox style and Nintendo Switch 2 accessibility has helped it convert interest into sales—now reflected in the reported 5+ million total units moved.
