Hogwarts Legacy, the highly anticipated open-world game set in the Wizarding World, has been a massive success since its release in February on PC and consoles. In fact, it has exceeded even Warner Bros. Games’ expectations, with sales reaching 256% higher than projected, according to a confirmation from Warner Bros.
Games Senior Brand Manager Arien Darby on his LinkedIn profile. Within the first two weeks of its release, Hogwarts Legacy sold an impressive 12 million units and has been at the top of sales charts since February, making it the second fastest-selling launch in Europe.
Hogwarts Legacy Sales Much More than Expected According to Brand Manager
The success of Hogwarts Legacy has had a significant impact on the overall video game market, with total video game sales for the first quarter of the year surpassing those of the first quarter of 2022, even with the release of high-profile games like Elden Ring.
And with the game yet to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, it’s highly likely that Hogwarts Legacy will become the best-selling game of the year.
The game’s popularity is well-deserved, as it offers a competent open-world experience that stays true to the source material of the Wizarding World while adding its own unique twists.
Although the open-world design may not be particularly groundbreaking, drawing inspiration from the typical Ubisoft approach, fans of the Wizarding World have still been thoroughly enjoying the game, as highlighted in Chris’ review.
While the game does have some minor issues, PC players have been able to address them with mods that add additional gameplay features and quality-of-life improvements.
Hogwarts Legacy is currently available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, with a scheduled release on May 5th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and in July for Nintendo Switch. The game’s overwhelming success is a testament to the immense popularity of the Wizarding World and the anticipation fans had for this long-awaited game.
