The Xenoblade Chronicles series has seen its popularity grow significantly throughout the duration of the Switch era, and unsurprisingly, the series is continuing to benefit from that. The highly anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles 3 launched for the Switch last week, instantly being met with widespread positive responses from critics and audiences alike. As you may have expected, that’s being reflected in the game’s sales as well.

While we don’t yet have any hard figures to tell us how much the game has managed to sell, we do know that it’s performing well digitally. Over on the Nintendo Switch eShop in the US, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is currently listed as its best-selling game. It sits there ahead of the likes of Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and more. A couple of other new releases are performing well as well, with Digimon Survive at fourth place and LIVE A LIVE in at eighth place.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is available on Nintendo Switch. Our review of the game will go up in the coming days, so stay tuned for that.
