According to recent estimations the new Harry Potter game, Hogwarts Legacy has become the best-selling physical video game in the United Kingdom for a third consecutive week. About half a dozen prior reports say Hogwarts Legacy has been topping sales charts all around the globe. This fresh look into the commercial success of Avalanche Software’s popular RPG is consistent with those claims.
Hogwarts Legacy’s first-week sales in the United Kingdom smashed a 22-year-old record. And crushed the first-week physical sales of major hitters like Elden Ring, proving once again how much the Wizarding World means to the nation that gave the world Harry Potter. Recent estimates imply that WB Games made well over $200 million in revenue through Valve’s platform in the first ten days of the game’s release, making it the most-viewed single-player title in Twitch history.
Since then, Hogwarts Legacy has kept up its incredible pace. They are remaining at the top of physical sales in the UK for a third consecutive week. In addition to competing with three other new releases. The most notable is Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, which debuted at #3. The new Harry Potter game nonetheless managed to crack the top 10. We’ve been looking at, the other competitive newcomers Octopath Traveler 2, Atomic Heart, and Like A Dragon: Ishin.
Several experts in the gaming business believe that the United Kingdom is the sixth biggest video game market in the world, with roughly 40 million gamers spending a combined $5.5 billion in yearly revenues. The total amount of money spent by gamers in Japan and South Korea is five times that of the UK. It stands to reason that Hogwarts Legacy would be the best-selling physical game in both countries during its debut week.
