Developer Avalanche Software and publisher Warner Bros. Games have announced that the Harry Potter inspired open-world action RPG Hogwarts Legacy has sold more than 22 million units. Hogwarts Legacy first launched on February 10, 2023 and is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad commented on the announcement in a statement to Variety:
“It’s not just the unit sold that I’m so proud of, it’s just that it delighted the fans so much. It brought Harry Potter to life in a new way for gamers where they could be themselves in this world, in this story. And that’s what the team at Avalanche set out to do when they were developing the game and I think that’s really why it resonated so well and remains the best-selling game of the year in the entire industry worldwide. That’s a position that typically is held by one of these incumbent’s sequel games and we’re so proud that we’ve been able to break into the top ranks.”
