Hogwarts Legacy has ended a 14 year streak of the best selling game in the US being either a Rockstar game or Call of Duty.

The exact US sales figures for the Harry Potter sim weren’t released but we do know the game shifted in impressive 22 million copies globally in 2023.

This all despite some very vocal members of the community calling for a boycott of anything even remotely related to JK Rowling over her opinion that biological women should have the right to protected single sex spaces such as public toilets and changing rooms. They absolutely should btw.

IGN until recently included a disclaimer about the author in every article they posted about the Harry Potter universe.

Did you buy Hogwarts Legacy or did you boycott the game?
