Weeks Before Its Release, Hogwarts Legacy Overtakes God of War and Cyberpunk 2077 for Last Week’s “Steam Top Sellers”

The wizards of Hogwarts are already casting miracles as the highly anticipated game based on the Harry Potter Universe, Hogwarts Legacy, has managed to secure the 4th spot in the top charts beating some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Cyberpunk, God of War, Red Dead and even Fifa. 

The game based on the wizarding world, Hogwarts Legacy, is developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. This game is expected to offer immersive open-world gameplay, mixed with action-RPG elements to give fans the experience they have craved ever since the release of the Sorcerer’s Stone.  

Hogwarts Legacy secures 4th spot in “Top Seller” charts 

The Harry Potter series is undoubtedly one of the most influential literary works of our generation. Written by Joanne Rowling aka J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter has been adapted into many mediums in the past years. Including the highly successful and worldwide phenomenal movie series that gained more than 7.7 Billion dollars at the Box Office.

But in terms of game adaptations, the franchise hasn’t been very impressive. There have been many games adapting the characters and stories of Harry Potter, but very few had managed to offer anything worth playing. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and Wii U were the only ones having some decent ratings. 

So it wasn’t surprising that the loyal fans of the series went crazy when Avalanche Software by Warner Bros. announced an open-world AAA harry potter game that promises to delve deep into the wizarding world and give the players an exclusive plot and experience that is not present in any book or movie. 

This hype for this game is apparent, as the pre-orders for the game have already managed to top the charts on steam. Beating big names such as Cyperpunk 2077, Fifa 23, and many more. According to Benji-Sales the standings in last week’s “Top Seller” chart for steam is:

1. Steam Deck
2. Elden Ring
3. COD MW II
4. Hogwarts Legacy
5. Cyberpunk 2077
6. Red Dead Redemption 2
7. Ready or Not
8. FIFA 23
9. God of War
10. Project Zomboid

How did fans react?

With another Tweet, Benji added, “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. If quality is good gargantuan launch incoming, easily one of the biggest of 2023”
