Just a month after its launch, and despite being surrounded by the debate about whether or not its purchase is ethical as it is a game linked to JK Rowling, Hogwarts Legacy bookings could signal a successful launch. At the time of writing this news, the game published by Warner Bros. Games is at number 5 on Steam’s top saleswhich is based on profits generated rather than units sold.

In fact, Hogwarts Legacy has been the best-selling game in recent days, since the titles that surpass it are free-to-plays that have microtransactions, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2 and Apex Legends. Likewise, Steam Deck, Valve’s console, is at number 2.

In this way, the game based on the Wizarding World is the best-selling game on Steam superando a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (rank #8) and FIFA 23 (position no. 10), while, on the other hand, members of the video game industry claim to hear that reservations for the console versions are high, predicting a gigantic launch, “easily one of the biggest of 2023“.

Hogwarts Legacy is the #1 Most Wishlisted game on Steam, preorders are ranking in the Top 4 Selling games on Steam 5 weeks before launch, and I’m hearing VERY strong things about console preorders
