In the realm of videogame searches, "Hogwarts Legacy" has officially taken the crown as 2023's most googled game, according to the annual roundup of popular search queries released by Google. As the Harry Potter-inspired game created an immense buzz, it managed to surpass "The Last of Us," which also gained significant attention likely due to the HBO series adaptation.

The top 10 list of most searched games this year includes diverse titles ranging from mobile games to big-budget AAA releases such as "Battlegrounds Mobile India," "Starfield," and "Diablo 4." Additionally, "The Last of Us" earned the number one spot in the most searched TV series on Google.

After launching on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, "Hogwarts Legacy" also made its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a delayed Nintendo Switch release arriving in November. Despite experiencing some technical issues, reviewers laud the game, such as Denian Franken who highlighted the rich content and magical experience that "Hogwarts Legacy" offers to Harry Potter fans.

There's also a buzz around the game's developer, Avalanche Software, as they're currently hiring for a new project, stirring speculation about whether it may be a sequel to "Hogwarts Legacy" or an entirely different game.
