Hogwarts Legacy may not have been the most critically acclaimed game of 2023, and it may not even be nominated once for this year's Game Awards, but it's still somehow the best-selling game of the year, by quite a wide margin. Within just two weeks of launch, Hogwarts Legacy sold over 12 million copies, and at the start of May that number increased to 15 million. Hogwarts Legacy's sales have only continued to grow over the course of the year and a huge factor in that is its multiple release waves.
