Hogwarts Legacy, the Harry Potter spinoff game, has sold an astonishing 22 million copies in 2023 according to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The title, which had the advantage of being part of the popular Harry Potter franchise, saw 2 million of those sales during the holiday season alone. The game's success was so notable that Warner Bros. Games hailed it as the best-selling game of the year, potentially outpacing incumbents like Call of Duty and Rockstar titles—a feat not achieved by a non Call of Duty or Rockstar game since 2009.

Players have invested 707 million hours into the game, with numerous repeat playthroughs, and engaging in the game's immersive activities like potion brewing and beast saving. The game's healthy performance on PC was also highlighted with a strong showing on Steam's most-played games of the year. The success of Hogwarts Legacy has encouraged Warner Bros. to tease future Harry Potter games, including a potential Quidditch experience among other ventures in the Potterverse.

What is the total number of Hogwarts Legacy copies sold?

Hogwarts Legacy has sold an impressive 22 million copies as of the end of 2023.

Hogwarts Legacy, from developer Avalanche Software, was released on February 10, 2023, for most platforms with a Nintendo Switch release following in November. The game is set in the 1800s, well before the events of the Harry Potter books and films, and allows players to create their own character and experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its success came both from engaging long-time fans of the franchise and attracting new players with its expansive open-world and deep role-playing elements. With such critical and commercial success, the future of the Harry Potter games looks promising with more magical experiences on the horizon.
