Piscatella shared the data on social media, revealing that 2,142 new games have been released for the Switch so far this year, compared to 1,775 in 2022.

PlayStation 5 is leading the charge for new releases, with 2,261 games released so far this year, up 22% from 2022. The Xbox Series X|S is in third place, with 1,753 new game releases, up 13% from 2022.


The increase in new releases for Switch is likely due to several factors, including the console's continued popularity, the success of its first-party titles, and the growing indie scene.

The Switch is the best-selling console of all time, with over 100 million units sold worldwide. It has also been a huge success for Nintendo, with the company posting record profits in recent years.


The Switch's first-party titles, such as "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Super Mario Odyssey," are some of the most critically acclaimed games of recent years. These games have helped drive sales of the console and made it a must-have for gamers of all ages.

The indie scene has also been a big contributor to the Switch's success. The console has been praised for its openness to indie developers, which has led to the release of many high-quality games for the platform.

The increase in new releases for Switch is a good sign for gamers. This means there are more games to choose from and healthy competition among publishers. This is likely to lead to even better game releases in the future.
