Star Fox tops Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, outsells GTA 6 on Amazon

The 2026 remake of Star Fox for Nintendo Switch 2 returns to its classic rail‑shooter formula, adding asymmetric co‑op driving, new vehicle types, vivid visuals and a four‑vs‑four competitive mode. Reviewers note that the game preserves the series’ arcade feel while introducing modern hardware features such as motion‑based aiming.

Within weeks of launch, Star Fox became the best‑downloaded title on the Switch 2 eShop, ranking ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI in Amazon Prime Day sales and surpassing other high‑profile releases such as Metroid Prime 4. The strong sales performance marks a rare moment where a Nintendo franchise temporarily outpaces the blockbuster GTA series on major retail platforms.
