Hogwarts Legacy seems to fly off the shelves in an almost magical way: the Action RPG in the world of Harry Potter has already sold more than 22 million times.
The game did this with sales across multiple platforms. Released in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy was first released on PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series. It hasn’t been revealed exactly how many Switch copies of Hogwarts Legacy have been sold. However, the game has been on the eShop’s best-selling game lists almost continuously since its release on Switch.
With sales of 22 million, Hogwarts Legacy sits midway between Nintendo titles like Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Super Mario Party.
David Haddad, the director of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment had this to say about the success of Hogwarts Legacy (translated):
But it’s not just the number of copies sold that I’m so proud of, it’s above all that the fans were so happy with it. It brought Harry Potter to life in a new way for players where they could be themselves in this world, in this story. And that’s what the Avalanche team wanted to do when they developed the game and I think that’s exactly why it took off so well and is still the best-selling game of the year worldwide. This is a position normally occupied by sequels to established series and we are so proud that we have managed to reach the top.
