On what date did Pokémon Pokopia release worldwide?

Pokémon Pokopia released worldwide on March 5, 2026.

The date marked the global launch of Game Freak and Omega Force’s Pokémon social simulation game for Nintendo Switch 2. The game places building, crafting, habitat restoration, and relationships with Pokémon at the center of play rather than traditional gym-badge progression.

The date is sometimes confused with September 12, 2025, when Pokémon Pokopia was announced during a Nintendo Direct. It is also distinct from August 4, 2026, the release date of the first Expansion Pass content, Bubbly Basin. Pokémon Pokopia’s launch was worldwide, and Nintendo later reported that the game surpassed 2.2 million units in its first four days.
