Nintendo has released its latest sales numbers for the top-selling Switch games, following its quarterly sales report. Unsurprisingly, all of the games on the list are from Nintendo, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe taking the lead. The release of The Super Mario Bros.

This figure includes copies sold as part of hardware bundles, making it an impressive achievement. In comparison, both Red Dead Redemption II and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have sold 50 million copies each.
In the past three months, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe achieved the highest quarterly growth in unit sales, selling an additional 1.55 million copies, bringing the total to 54.46 million units sold by the end of June 2023.
