Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sold 5.8m copies so far in its first week, according to the official Pokémon company website.
Roughly half of these were on Switch 2, and the number includes both physical and digital copies of the game. This makes it one of the highest-selling Pokémon titles in terms of first-week sales.
As noted by video games sales specialist Pierre485 on X, Z-A still lags behind Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Pokémon Sword/Shield in terms of first-week sales. However, it has already surpassed the likes of Pokémon X/Y and Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A was included in a special Switch 2 hardware bundle, which was announced back in July of this year. The Switch 2 version touted “improved graphics and frame-rate”, and Switch copies of the game can be upgraded to the Switch 2 version via an upgrade pack.
