Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains a top-selling game in the US even after 11 years. In June 2025, it ranked seventh among Nintendo Switch games and rose to fourth place in July. This happened despite the launch of the new Switch 2 console and its new game, Mario Kart World. The older game sold about 600,000 copies globally in the last quarter and is expected to keep selling well through the holiday season. Switch 2 has sold over 2 million units in the US since its June launch and is ahead of the original Switch's sales pace. However, many third-party games for Switch 2 quickly dropped off the best-seller lists. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s lasting popularity shows the strength of Nintendo’s classic games on both Switch consoles. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 20:56 IST; source: link)
