- Avalanche Software has confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy has surpassed 40 million units.
- There were initial calls for a boycott, which didn’t work based on the current numbers.
- A sequel has already been announced and is currently in active development.
In the previous years, the gaming industry saw a huge push towards live service games. While some of the recent titles were genuinely good, single-player games have absolutely dominated, and the demand remains as high as ever.
This is pretty much apparent from Hogwarts Legacy, which has now surpassed a whopping 40 million units sold. This is even more impressive considering the title came out just over a couple of years ago.
Why it matters: Avalanche Software has proved that the demand for single-player games will never die out as long as the developers continue to passionately and creatively invest in them as they did with Hogwarts Legacy.
The Harry Potter-based game became a topic of controversy when it was initially released. The creator, JK Rowling, has been involved in some transphobic comments, which led people to call for a boycott of Hogwarts Legacy.
However, these numbers prove that the boycotts didn’t really work, and the game continued to sell well. It had sold 34 million units by March 2025, so this means that in the last 8 months, it sold an impressive 6 million more units.
Unfortunately, the studio was rumored to be working on a DLC, which was cancelled, but on the bright side, a sequel has already been confirmed. Though most will be curious to see what happens to it after the Netflix-WB deal falls in place.
Anyhow, if you still haven’t been able to give the title a go, it can be redeemed for free on the Epic Store for a limited time. The game has its weak sides, but it hits all the basics well and is, overall, a very enjoyable experience.
