Hogwarts Legacy's commercial success comes on the heels of Gotham Knights' months-long poor launch. The game sold over 12 million copies worldwide in its first two weeks.
In terms of revenue, WB's latest game grossed over $ 850 million in revenue, previous reports revealed that in the UK, its physical launch was 80% bigger than last year's Elden Ring game, while its digital launch was 56% bigger andGiven Elden Ring's strong sales and performance, surpassing it in some aspects is not easy.
New details have emerged about the RPG's release. According to data released by GSD, Hogwarts Legacy is already the sixth best-selling game in the last 12 months in the United Kingdom and, with just three weeks on the market, is already about to surpass the total sales of Elden Ring.
The game's first week of release in the region was 100% bigger than FromSoftware's, and that number represents both physical and digital sales. It remains the best-selling game of the month of February in the UK, with overall game sales in the region seeing a 11% increase compared to February 2022, with a total of 2.8 million copies of games sold in the region last month.
Considering that Hogwarts Legacy only released on current-gen platforms and PC, as opposed to Elden Ring releasing on all platforms, that's already pretty impressive.
Hogwarts Legacy will be released for PS4 and Xbox One on May 5th and Nintendo Switch on July 25th.
