Metroid Dread is one of the best games you can get for Nintendo Switch.

Metroid Dread has sold 2.74M copies

Nintendo revealed during its latest earnings report that Metroid Dread has sold 2.74 million copies on Switch as of December 31.

It’s hard to gauge how to feel about these numbers. Compared to other Switch games, it can fee low. The HD port of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, for example, has sold 3.85 million copies on Switch. That’s a rerelease of an older Wii title.
