Hogwarts Legacy is Steam's best-selling game right now

Hogwarts Legacy may not be out yet, but it is already topping the Steam charts.

We’re still a way off Hogwarts Legacy’s release, especially if you’re not a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S owner, but that hasn’t stopped the game from dominating the year’s early sales charts.

Hogwarts Legacy is already the top-selling PlayStation 5 game of 2023. It’s somewhat surprising given the controversy surrounding the title due to JK Rowling’s transphobic comments which left many fans feeling alienated by the author. PlayStation owners are set to get a hefty chunk of exclusive content, including ‘The Haunted Hogsmeade Shop’ side quest, which could explain the surge of pre-orders. It appears though, that the PC version is proving to be similarly popular as it’s topping the Steam charts.

Take a tour of Hogwarts’ four house common rooms in the video below.

As reported by Tech4Gamers, Hogwarts Legacy currently occupies the number one spot on the Steam charts, sitting ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, FIFA 23, Dead by Daylight and High On Life. As a reminder, it’s only the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Hogwarts Legacy that’ll be released on 10 February. Those who have pre-ordered the deluxe edition of the game will gain access on 7 February.

Those with a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will have to wait until 4 April to get their hands on the game. Nintendo Switch players will then eventually receive the title on 25 July. It’s certainly a unique rollout and one that plenty of players aren’t happy with. The delay to the previous-gen versions has resulted in a number of pre-orders being cancelled.

Avalanche didn’t exactly explain why the previous-gen versions had been delayed, although they did add that they wanted to “deliver the best possible game experience across all platforms.” The delay is probably for the better then but it’s going to be hard watching some people dig in next month, I’m sure.
