Pokopia Price Soars on Amazon Amid Shortages
9 Mar
Summary
- Amazon increased Pokopia's price from $69.99 to $79.99.
- Physical copies of Pokopia are out of stock at most US retailers.
- The game is described as a 'must-play' for fans of cozy town-building.
Pokémon Pokopia has seen a notable price increase on Amazon US due to widespread stock shortages across North American retailers. As of March 9, 2026, Amazon raised the price of the physical game from $69.99 to $79.99, with third-party sellers listing it for $99.99.
Most major retailers, including GameStop, Target, and Walmart, have sold out of their physical copies since its release on February 27, 2026. This situation mirrors a similar price hike on the Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem earlier in March 2026.
Analysts suggest this could be an opportunity for retailers to capitalize on high demand for Switch 2 titles. In the UK, retail supply was also reportedly insufficient at launch.
The game itself has garnered critical acclaim, being called a "must-play" for fans of Animal Crossing or Minecraft. It is lauded for its cozy, violence-free gameplay, allowing players to explore, interact with Pokémon, and build their ideal towns.
