When Biomutant launched originally in 2021, it received mixed critical reception despite its commercial success. Fast forward three years later, and a surprising turn of events has occurred with the release of Biomutant on the Nintendo Switch.
Contrary to expectations, Biomutant's Switch port is performing exceptionally well in Japan, surpassing sales projections by a significant margin. Publisher THQ Nordic confirmed to Automaton Media that the Nintendo Switch version of Biomutant has exceeded sales expectations by about 20 times, encompassing both physical and digital sales. This unexpected success has set a high bar for the new release.
According to Automaton's report, THQ Nordic attributes the strong sales of Biomutant on the Switch to the platform's portability, which complements the open-world action RPG gameplay of the title. The ability to play on the go appears to have resonated well with gamers in Japan, contributing to the game's impressive performance.
While the sustainability of Biomutant's success in Japan remains uncertain, the game's promising start on the Switch has sparked curiosity about its reception in other regions. It will be intriguing to observe the impact of the Switch release on Biomutant's overall sales worldwide, with hopes that THQ Nordic will share further insights in the near future.
Aside from the Nintendo Switch, Biomutant is also accessible on other platforms such as PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, offering a diverse range of players the opportunity to experience its unique gameplay and world.
