LeafBug 7,262 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hogwarts Legacy is currently the best-selling game on Steam, despite the fact that the game doesn't come out for another month. Anticipation has been high for Hogwarts Legacy since it was first revealed in 2020, with many Harry Potter fans counting down the days until they get to play the open world action-RPG for themselves. When Hogwarts Legacy was first announced, the game was expected to launch at some point in 2021. However, the Hogwarts Legacy release date was delayed a couple of times, ultimately pushing it back to February 10, 2023. There have been some more Hogwarts Legacy release date shake-ups since then, with the PS4 and Xbox One versions delayed to April 4 and the Switch version not coming out until July 25. Those planning on playing the game on PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X can still look forward to the February 10 release date. It seems Hogwarts Legacy's pre-order sales are even stronger than many other AAA games, but that's not surprising. Beyond the fact that Harry Potter is one of the biggest media franchises of all time, fans have been given good reason to pre-order certain versions of Hogwarts Legacy. Specifically, the Hogwarts Legacy Digital Deluxe and Collector's Editions have successfully enticed many fans into pre-ordering. Those that pre-order the Hogwarts Legacy Digital Deluxe or Collector's Edition can play the highly-anticipated open world Harry Potter game three days in advance. So while the Hogwarts Legacyrelease date is still February 10 officially, those that pre-order those versions of the game can play on February 7 instead. When one considers how long Harry Potter fans have been waiting for a game like Hogwarts Legacy, it's no surprise at all that many are willing to pay a little extra and take a risk on a pre-order to play the game earlier than its official release date. While the game is clearly going to be a massive sales success, there has been no shortage of controversy surrounding Hogwarts Legacy. In fact, some fans have gone as far as to call for Hogwarts Legacyboycotts in response to Harry Potter author JK Rowling's transphobic comments. It remains to be seen how such efforts will ultimately impact Hogwarts Legacy's sales, but as of now, it looks like the game has potential to be the top-selling game of 2023. Hogwarts Legacy launches February 10 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X with PS4 and Xbox One versions launching April 4, and a Switch version releasing July 25. https://gamerant.com/hogwarts-legacy-steam-pre-order/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/01/10/hogwarts-legacy-is-the-best-selling-game-on-steam-a-full-month-early/amp/ https://insider-gaming.com/hogwarts-legacy-is-steams-best-selling-game-right-now/ https://www.xfire.com/hogwarts-legacy-best-selling-game-steam/ I have to be honest, I thought it would flop because of all the “controversy”.

Literally no one cares about the “controversy” the only ones who were hurt about it was the LGBTQ+ community and its close ally’s. At the end of the day whether or not you decide to support this game, JK Rowling will get her cut and the game will be a massive success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald 13,827 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I have a feeling this release is going to be such a toxic mess.. Mainly from the HP fans' defensive toxic positivity towards what looks to be a very mediocre game, from a dev studio with a history of poor quality movie-tie-in games (Hannah Montana World Tour, Cars, Toy Story Disney Infinity). People still haven't learned not to pre-order from studios with a history of releasing bad games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
