Hogwarts Legacy: Shaping up to be the Top-Selling Game of 2023 Before Its Release

 

It's only January and Hogwarts Legacy is already shaping up to be one of the top-selling games of 2023. Just three weeks into the year, and weeks before its February release date, it has already become the highest-selling game on three platforms: Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 (PS5).

On Steam, Hogwarts Legacy takes the spot as the most-bought game right now by revenue. Although Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is currently at the top of the list, its revenue doesn't come from game sales but from its skins, keys, and boxes as it is Free-to-Play. Therefore, in terms of game sales, Hogwarts Legacy takes the throne. Apex Legends (another Free-to-Play game) and Cyberpunk 2077 follow on the list.

Amazon also reports that Hogwarts Legacy takes the throne as a Best Seller for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Dead Space Remake comes second on the PlayStation side, while Modern Warfare II follows Hogwarts Legacy on Xbox. What's interesting is that just a few hours ago, Modern Warfare II was still the top-selling game for Xbox. But as the release date for Hogwarts Legacy draws closer, more and more people are ordering the game, resulting in Modern Warfare II being overtaken.

This game is already one of the most anticipated games of 2023. Various trailers that came out last year have been hyping the game up, and from the looks of it, it shows no signs of slowing down. Fans are excited for the chance to explore the wizarding world and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a student in the 1800s. The game promises an open-world experience where players can attend classes, make friends, and even explore forbidden areas of the castle.

In conclusion, Hogwarts Legacy is off to a fantastic start in terms of sales and popularity. Its pre-release success is a testament to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the game. With its official release date only a month away, it's clear that the game will continue to be a top-seller and a must-play for fans of the wizarding world and open-world games alike.
