Splatoon 3 is one of the best-selling Switch games, having sold almost 8 million copies since launch. It will also be getting new content in 2023 in the form of two DLC packs. The first of them allows players to visit Inkopolis, the urban setting from the original Splatoon. It is immediately available. The second will be a new single-player story called Side Order.
You can play Splatoon 3 now on the Switch, and the DLC expansion pass is available to purchase.
