Deltarune is the Switch 2's sleeper hit
Briefly

Deltarune has had a long episodic release timeline, with Chapters 1 and 2 released in 2018 and 2021 respectively, while Chapters 3 and 4 are set to release in 2025. The fifth chapter is currently in development for 2026. The Switch 2 version of Deltarune includes the first four chapters for $24.99, attracting sales on the eShop. As of July 2025, it tops eShop sales, surprising some due to concerns about third-party game performance on the platform. Offering the game in one package and free updates for buyers could drive further interest.
Deltarune's episodic release has left fans waiting a long time between installments, with Chapter 1 hitting in 2018, Chapter 2 in 2021, and Chapters 3 and 4 in 2025.
As of July 2025, Deltarune is the most successful game on the Nintendo eShop, followed by Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Mario Kart World, and Minecraft.
Deltarune leading eShop sales is slightly unexpected given the chatter that third-party games aren't faring well on Switch 2.
Providing all available parts in one package, making the game free for those who purchase it on either Switch console, is a stroke of genius.
