Hogwarts Legacy has sold 22 million copies and, according to the developers, may be the best-selling game in 2023, Warner Bros. Games told Variety in a commentary.

Representatives of the company also shared other statistics on the game. For example, in just one year, 707 million hours were played, and many players returned to Hogwarts to play through the game again.

Other in-game statistics show that players have brewed 819 million potions, collected 1.3 billion magic herbs, rescued 593 million magic beasts, and defeated 4.9 billion evil wizards.

“But it’s not just the unit sold that I’m so proud of, it’s just that it delighted the fans so much,” told Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad. “It brought Harry Potter to life in a new way for gamers where they could be themselves in this world, in this story. And that’s what the team at Avalanche set out to do when they were developing the game and I think that’s really why it resonated so well and remains the best-selling game of the year in the entire industry worldwide. That’s a position that typically is held by one of these incumbent’s sequel games and we’re so proud that we’ve been able to break into the top ranks.”

Haddad also commented on the previously announced multiplayer game in the Harry Potter universe – Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions.

“We don’t have any particular announcements on exactly how and when [the Quidditch game] is going to come to the market, but we are working to get it designed in a way just to delight fans.”
