On which console was Pokémon Pokopia released on March 5, 2026?

Pokémon Pokopia was released on the Nintendo Switch 2 on March 5, 2026.

The game was designed as a new-generation Pokémon experience for Nintendo’s successor to the original Switch. Its official platform listing identifies Nintendo Switch 2 as the game’s sole platform, making it a Switch 2 exclusive rather than a cross-generation release.

Pokopia combines life simulation, crafting, exploration, and sandbox construction. Players control a Ditto in human form and restore a damaged world by building habitats, collecting materials, and helping Pokémon. This makes it different from the main Pokémon role-playing games, which traditionally focus on collecting Pokémon and battling.

The release date is also easy to confuse with the September 2025 announcement. Pokémon Pokopia was revealed during a Nintendo Direct in September 2025, but it did not launch until March 5, 2026.
