In The 'GOTY 2023' Contest, Hogwarts Legacy has overtaken Elden...

On February 10, 2023, Warner Bros published the enthralling Hogwarts Legacy. Following Elden Ring in 2022, it was one of the greatest releases of the year.

The game was also repeatedly delayed, which irritated players, but the developers wanted to give their best. See how well that worked out?

The game was one of the most frequently "pre-ordered" games ever even before it was officially released.

Fans were curious to know the total sales growth after the game sold 64% more copies than it did in 2001.

Compared to FIFA, Call of Duty, and Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy had the largest European debut, claims Chris Dring.

It is essential to realise that the game is still not compatible with the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

The franchise had to make an announcement about a delayed platform release due to underlying conditions.
