Why Hogwarts Legacy sold 40 million copies

Hogwarts Legacy has sold 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest gaming successes of recent years. But how did an open-world Harry Potter game turn into such a massive commercial hit? In this video, I break down why Hogwarts Legacy sold 40 million copies and the major factors behind its success — from the enormous audience for the Harry Potter universe and years of anticipation, to the appeal of freely exploring Hogwarts, strong launch momentum, multiple platform releases and continued interest long after release. Hogwarts Legacy gave players something many Harry Potter fans had wanted for years: the chance to explore the wizarding world through a large-scale role-playing game. Combined with the strength of the franchise and releases across multiple platforms, that helped the game reach an enormous audience.
