Currently, Nintendo Switch 2 unit sales in the U.S. are trending 77% ahead of the time-aligned sales of the original Nintendo Switch console.

What’s more, Madden NFL 26 is the second best-selling game of August 2025, behind NBA 2K26. On Nintendo Switch 2, Madden NFL 26 is also the second best-selling game on the platform behind Donkey Kong Bananza.

Previously, Nintendo Switch 2 set a new launch month sales record in the U.S. with 1.6 million units sold in June 2025, surpassing the record set by PlayStation 4’s launch in November 2013 at 1.1 million. Mario Kart World was the third best-selling game in the US during Switch 2’s launch month, but its worth noting that the sales tracked by Circana do not include digital copies from the Nintendo eShop or those bundled with the Nintendo Switch 2 console.

The best-selling third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games during the console’s launch month were Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and Street Fighter 6. Moreover, Nintendo Switch 2 was the best-selling console of June 2025 in both units and dollars. Shortly after launch, Nintendo confirmed that Nintendo Switch 2 sold 3.5 million units globally in the first four days on sale. This makes Switch 2 the fastest-selling Nintendo console ever, and perhaps the biggest console launch of all time.

The blog post recapping the gameplay showcase further describes STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions:

“…You’ll be teaming up with other members of the ESS Starseeker into 4-player squads to embark on expeditions. These are timed planetside adventures for you and your squad to explore, complete objectives, then finally loot and scoot, but you’ll most likely get into some delightful shenanigans along the way.

While on a planet’s surface, you’ll run into dangerous creatures, unique encounters, and precious materials to scoop up. But be warned, players are not always expected to succeed! You will need to use all of your advanced tech and collaborate with your crew if you want to return to the ESS Starseeker with your hard-earned goods.

If you do manage to survive an expedition, then you’ll return up to the space station to earn all of your sweet rewards and rep gains from the Fronteer Force, the legendary superteam of absurd action science heroes in charge of the Starseeker. But you can never take the desire for adventure away from an Astroneer, so gear up and plan for your next expedition.”
