Hogwarts Legacy is by far the game I’m most excited to play this coming year, and judging from the Steam stats, I’m not alone. Steam, every PC user’s favourite gaming storefront, has seen Hogwarts Legacy sit at the number one spot on their best-selling games list for the last month.
This means that Hogwarts Legacy, a game about being a wizard, has beaten out titles like all of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Fifa 23 to take the throne. A large part of the game’s best-selling success before it is released comes down to the Deluxe Edition pre-order, which lets eager wizards jump into the game three days before launch.
Hogwarts Legacy promises to be everything that fans of the wizardry world have been craving since they were old enough to receive their own Hogwarts acceptance letter that has yet to come. It also stands a chance to revitalise the games, as the franchise hasn’t seen a proper game release for many years.
In a little under a month from now, players can take on the role of a wizard of their own creation while exploring the vast open world and learning spells and potion crafts. Oh, and jumping around because jumping will be a part of the game we learnt earlier this week.
Steam has been going from high to high in the last month, with the gaming platform reaching a record-breaking 10 Million concurrent in-game players for the first time this year and 32 million simultaneous users, who, by the looks of things, have all been preordering Hogwarts Legacy.
Wizards young and old, except those on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch, can look forward to stepping into Hogwarts on the 10th of February. Wizards still rocking Nimbus 2000s will be able to enter the door on July 25th.
