Hogwarts Legacy Passes 40 Million Sales, Sequel Can Proceed Unperturbed

Hogwarts Legacy Shatters Records with 40 Million Sales, Sequel in Development Amidst Potential Studio Acquisitions

As of December 2025, Warner Bros. Games's Hogwarts Legacy has sold over 40 million copies across all platforms, making it the best-selling Harry Potter game ever and the best-selling game of 2023. The Hogwarts Legacy team confirmed this milestone on Twitter last month, noting that the game sold an additional six million units since March 2025. While a Definitive Edition is no longer in development, Avalanche Software is already at work on a sequel, Hogwarts Legacy 2, according to Insider Gaming. Developers are considering features requested by players, such as co-op multiplayer, console modding tools, and DLC, for the new game. This sales figure is particularly significant given the possible acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix or Paramount. Despite recent struggles, the success of Hogwarts Legacy reinforces the value of the franchise to Avalanche Software and Warner Bros., making the sequel a strategic priority for any future owner.
