Therefore, the success will be even more pronounced once all the data is in.
Hogwarts Legacy would have received a substantial number of digital downloads (that data will come later in the week), whereas Philosopher’s Stone didn't have any digital sales back in 2001. This result is more impressive when you consider this is just for physical sales. Even compared to that week, Hogwarts Legacy was still bigger by 2%. In fact, the biggest week for a Harry Potter game wasn't a launch week at all, it was the second week of the Philosopher’s Stone (due to hype around the movie). It is the biggest launch for any Harry Potter game ever, with sales 64% higher than the previous best - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone from 2001. Can't wait for Hogwarts Legacy? Play one of the best RPGs in the meantime.Hogwarts Legacy has got off to a very big start at UK games retail, and is comfortably the No.1 game of the week (GfK data).What’s more, since you can always cancel your pre-order, it could be that disgruntled fans will express their displeasure by using their wallets – especially if there’s no longer a key reason to have spent the extra money on the Deluxe version. The delay is likely to disappoint some Harry Potter fans as, by shifting the release date for only part of the community, there’s an increased risk that last-gen players will have the experience spoiled for them by their current-gen peers. But hey, what’s another few months when you’ve already been waiting 25 years? If you planned to play on your Switch, you’ll have to sit tight for a brutal five extra months for your acceptance letter to arrive in July 2023. This is according to the Hogwarts Legacy FAQ page. Whether you purchased the Standard or Deluxe versions, you’ll be getting access on April 4. Where current-gen console and PC players will gain 72 hours of early access with their purchase of the Deluxe Edition of the game, the same is not true for past-gen users. The most recent last-gen delays are nothing new, unfortunately, as Hogwarts Legacy has already seen one deflating delay that moved its goalpost from late 2022 to early 2023.
