Just absolutely wild numbers for the PS5 and this title.

Hogwarts Legacy had the sixth biggest launch for a video game since the European charts started six years ago.

The only games ahead of it are FIFA titles. That means Hogwarts Legacy had a bigger launch than every Call of Duty game released since 2017, plus other breakout hits such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Elden Ring.

Yet despite the runaway success of Warner Bros title, game sales in February across Europe are down 10% compared with last February, with 12.9 million games sold.

This data is from GSD and includes physical game sales across most major European markets (including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and more). It also includes digital game sales from most major publishers across all European markets. Full details are at the bottom of the article.

Too bad the game looks like it sucks and JK Rowling is a transphobic fuck.

Hard to care about this game at all, and honestly I don't feel like it's a good look to express support for this game on a site whose community has, repeatedly, and loudly, expressed that we don't want this game discussed. What are you doing?
