Christopher Dring has revealed on Twitter that digital data for Hogwarts Legacy‘s opening weekend reveals that the game was 56% bigger across Europe than last year’s fantasy epic Elden Ring.
According to the data, Hogwarts Legacy is the biggest game launch outside of FIFA and Call of Duty since Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2, which arrived in Fall 2018. Dring observes that the success of Hogwarts Legacy points to gamers largely gravitating towards big-name brands at the moment.
Hogwarts Legacy was released on February 10, 2023 for PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S. You can read our full review here. The game’s Hogwarts Legacy House Cup is now available to jump into for PS5 players, where you’ll be able to earn rewards such as in-game avatars.
As previously reported, Hogwarts Legacy gave the Harry Potter series its biggest launch in the UK of all time, with the PS5 version taking 82% of physical sales.
