Nintendo has revealed in a recent interview with Famitsu that Splatoon 3 continues to be a hit on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The team say that since the announcement of Splatoon Raiders the team has seen more people playing Splatoon 3. They even went as far to say that there are actually more people playing Splatoon 3 in 2026 than there were in 2025. Long may it continue. Here’s what was said via machine translation:
Inoue: Also, it’s been about a year since Raiders was announced, and since then, we’ve seen more people playing Splatoon 3.
Really?
Inoue: Yes. There are actually more players in 2026 than there were in 2025, so I think the two titles may be having a positive impact on each other.
Going forward, we want to continue taking on new challenges while preserving the aspects of the series that are important to us.
