Hogwarts Legacy celebrates its first birthday in a month and boasts some great numbers. There has been repeated talk of a sales success in the past, with another exact number now for Variety magazine David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. He also added other interesting numbers and statistics. however, he also outlined plans for the future, revealing that the Harry Potter world will continue to expand with the addition of new games.
Since its release by the end of 2023, the game has sold more than 22 million copies. On PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, the game was released on February 10, followed by a release on May 5 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and finally on November 14, 2023 on Nintendo Switch. An additional two million copies were sold in December during the Christmas period. A few days ago we also learned that the boxed version of Hogwarts Legacy made it after 10 long years to stop the first place in the FIFA series, or EA Sports FC in sales in the UK, which was last achieved by GTA V. “This position is usually occupied by one of the sequels of these games and we are very proud to have managed to break into the front ranks,” said Haddad. “But I’m not only proud that it sold so many units, but that the game made fans so happy,” he added, adding that the developers’ goal was to offer players a Harry Potter world in which they can be themselves. This is also why he thinks that the title resonates so much with players and is also doing well in sales.
Some other stats:
Players put in a total of 707 million hours in Hogwarts Legacy in 2023, and many of them started the game after finishing the game, in which case the choice fell on a different college. Furthermore, 819 million potions were brewed, 1.3 billion magical plants were harvested, 593 million magical animals were rescued, and 4.9 billion dark wizards were defeated in duels.
Warner Bros. has big plans for the world of Harry Potter, which also applies to the games. Currently, there is a Harry Potter Quidditch Championship Quidditch sports game in development, which, although it has nothing to do with Hogwarts Legacy, could hopefully please those players who missed Quidditch (or, if you prefer, Quidditch) in the game and suffered from its omission. The Quidditch Championship is currently in beta and we’ve already seen some of it through leaks over the course of the year. Quidditch isn’t the only thing that Warner Bros. in the field of games, but is waiting for announcements. According to Haddad, there are also “a number of other things” in development that will allow players to “immerse themselves even deeper into this world, stories and characters.” However, the Harry Potter Quidditch Championship release date has not yet been set.
