Hogwarts Legacy Is Biggest Harry Potter Game Release in UK

Hogwarts Legacy keeps reaching new heights. Just three days after release, its sales secured first place in the UK chart, making it the biggest launch among Harry Potter games.

Hogwarts Legacy's physical sales are 64% higher than the ones the previous winner, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, saw in its first week. According to Gamesindustry.biz, it already surpassed the Philosopher’s Stone's most successful week by 2%, and this is without taking into account digital copies.
