It’s Monday and I eat every week GFK Entertainment shared last week’s video game sales in the UK region, the only region that makes this information public on a weekly basis. Unsurprisingly, Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game of the week, and it’s also the biggest launch ever for a Hogwarts Legacy game. Harry Potter In the region.
At the moment only physical sales for the region have been released, so the picture might change slightly when the digital sales data is released, but at the moment Hogwarts Legacy when it launched has sold 80% more than Elden Ring during its UK launch week, which is a sign of WB Games’ success for considering Elden Ring’s performance last year.
That’s not all, as Hogwarts Legacy is also the biggest launch of a Harry Potter video game, finally surpassing 2001’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which hasn’t lost the crown since. However, the 2001 game had no digital sales, so Hogwarts Legacy sales will be much higher when all data is available.
