The fantasy game based on the Harry Potter stories, Hogwarts Legacy, has made a strong showing on the list of best-selling games this week in the British market.

The GfK platform revealed that the game managed to comfortably climb to the top of the list since the first week of release, while also managing to surpass the sales percentage of the strongest fantasy and fantasy game, Elden Ring, at 80% during the same period.

In terms of platforms, only the PS5 version was the best-selling in the British market, with 82%, against the Xbox Series X|S, which sold 18% for the physical version alone.

Unfortunately, digital copy sales have not yet been released, as sales of the Xbox copy are expected to be high because the Xbox Series S is the best-selling device, although it is not just for the digital copy.

On the other hand, during the launch period, we noticed the extent of promotion provided by PlayStation accounts on social media platforms. The game is constantly being marketed.

In addition, there was joint cooperation between WB and PlayStation developers to release a special version of the DualSense console, in reference to the existence of great cooperation between the two parties for joint marketing.

In terms of sales of the Harry Potter series as a whole, Hogwarts Legacy's first week of sales marks the highest sales week of any Harry Potter game released to date.

Considering that the second week of sales for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was the next highest-selling week for the series, physical sales for Hogwarts Legacy were 2% higher, even before digital sales were factored in.

Returning to the list of best-selling games in the UK market, God of War Ragnarok still occupies second place, while the survival horror game Dead Space fell from third to seventh place.

Hogwarts Legacy is a massive open-world RPG experience set in magical worlds filled with mystery and sometimes mysteries. The game's main story was written by renowned author Moira Square, in collaboration with writers James Cabrera and Jeff Bunker.

We're still waiting for the game's full sales figures to be revealed, which includes both digital and physical versions, as we expect them to be impressive with such strong numbers.

It didn't stop there either, since the first days of its release and according to SteamDB, Hogwarts Legacy has had more than 879,308 active players, the second single-player game title on Steam. The first place still goes to Cyberpunk 2077.
