A large part of the game’s best-selling success before it is released comes down to the Deluxe Edition pre-order, which lets eager wizards jump into the game three days before launch. This means that Hogwarts Legacy, a game about being a wizard, has beaten out titles like all of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Fifa 23 to take the throne. Steam, every PC user’s favourite gaming storefront, has seen Hogwarts Legacy sit at the number one spot on their best-selling games list for the last month. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will launch on April 4, and the Nintendo Switch version will follow on July 25.Hogwarts Legacy is by far the game I’m most excited to play this coming year, and judging from the Steam stats, I’m not alone.
The PlayStation 5 version will go live at midnight in your local time zone (except for the Pacific time zone in North America, which for some reason will go live at 9 pm). Hogwarts Legacy will fully unlock on PC at 10 am PT/1 pm ET/6 pm GMT on February 10. Remember, this player count only includes people who purchased the $70/£60 deluxe edition and then took advantage of the early access period on Steam: That excludes all standard edition sales and deluxe owners who either didn't care or forgot about the early access period, not to mention the Epic Games Store release and the console versions, which I have no doubt will draw even bigger audiences. Pre-purchases alone made it one of the best-selling games on Steam, and it currently holds the top spot on the list.īut the scale of the success, I think, is genuinely surprising. There was never any question that Hogwarts Legacy was going to be a hit, despite the backlash against it.
