Warner Bros. Games has confirmed that Hogwarts Legacy has surpassed 40 million copies sold worldwide, marking a major commercial milestone for the open-world action role-playing game. The announcement was shared publicly through the official Hogwarts Legacy social media account, signaling the title’s continued momentum nearly three years after its initial release. The figure reflects cumulative sales across all available platforms and regions.
Developed by Avalanche Software and published under the Portkey Games label, Hogwarts Legacy places players in the role of a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the 1800s. The game is positioned as an open-world action RPG, allowing players to explore familiar and original locations while progressing through a standalone narrative set within the Wizarding World universe. The late academic starting point is a defining narrative choice, one that avoids early year routines and moves quickly into larger conflicts and exploration.
Hogwarts Legacy originally launched on February 10, 2023, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Expanded platform support followed later that year, with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions released on May 5, 2023, and a Nintendo Switch edition arriving on November 14, 2023. Most recently, the game received a dedicated release for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, featuring improved graphical fidelity tailored to the newer hardware.
By crossing the 40 million unit threshold, Hogwarts Legacy joins a rare group of video games that have reached similar commercial heights. This group includes titles such as Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto V, Wii Sports, Red Dead Redemption 2, Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe, PUBG Battlegrounds, Terraria, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. With this latest achievement, Hogwarts Legacy now stands alongside long-established franchises and enduring hits, reinforcing its position as one of the most commercially successful releases of its generation.
