As a Harry Potter franchise, Hogwarts Legacy’s first-week sales are the highest compared to any other Harry Potter game release to date.
Even though the game has been subject to controversy due to the franchise’s creator sharing something controversial, Hogwarts Legacy is still gaining big sales and breaking new records on various platforms.
