Hogwarts Legacy has hit another major sales milestone, and it's a nice round one, too: the open-world wizarding RPG has surpassed 15 million sales across all platforms, grossing $1 billion in the process, making it Warner Bros' biggest game launch to date.
Sales figures were announced on 31st March, the end of the first financial quarter. Hogwart Legacy was released on 10th February and still managed the impressive feat in less than two months. That number is likely to increase significantly, too, as the PS4 version has only just launched (and it performs fantastically for last-gen) after having been delayed.
In other Hogwarts Legacy news, the latest update added Arachnophobia Mode, which makes the game's many spider enemies look far less terrifying. Did you attend Hogwarts this year? Let us know in the comments section below.

Performance on ps4 is something else though that framerate is to much for me
Well deserved. Great game, I really hope we get story dlc.
Can't wait for the sequel which will probably improve a ton of stuff in an already impressive game.
wasn't there a boycott against this game?
@Genghis_Schlonng 5 people on Twitter and a handful are bots saying they won't play it is not really a boycott.
I guess this is a good message to all developers that what most people want is a solid single player game with no live service elements.
Warner Bros has kind of been killing it this year so far. Between this, the Last of Us tv show and the new Evil Dead. I hope the momentum keeps up after they have had a rough couple years.
Seriously well deserved sales numbers! I keep meaning to get back to the game, but I am always busy.
@Genghis_Schlonng there was and i think about 5 people didnt buy it..on a more serious tone though its a really,really good game and i'm all in for the sequel..
@Genghis_Schlonng If there was, it clearly did not work lol.
After not being interested in the game at all, I certainly am now. Don't have a scooby when when I'll get to it though.
Does this game have a solid story and campaign?
I never got into Harry Potter. That also means I know practically zero references and characters. Can someone with zero knowledge of this world enjoy the game?
The game does look good and I might consider trying it just like I would consider any other game if it had a good story, fun combat and good graphics.
@GreatAuk yes it has a solid story and yes anybody can enjoy this game. I'm not a potter fan by any stretch but i wanted this game from its first reveal because it just looked like it was going to be a really good adventure game...and it is 👍
@GreatAuk story is meh tbh
My birthday is soon, will buy the game on PS4 if I don't get it as a gift
@Genghis_Schlonng the boycot got hit with the Stupefy spell pretty early on
Well deserved and the sequel will sell even more
Game was fantastic! Can’t wait for a sequel. Hopefully we some dlc first tho.
