Hogwarts Legacy scores second week at No.1 | UK Boxed Charts

1 year 2 months ago

Hogwarts Legacy has held No.1 in the UK boxed charts, despite a drop in sales of 66% in its second week.

This is according to the GfK retail data. It's actually a relatively modest drop for a big game in its second week. Hogwarts Legacy had a very strong lauch weekend, and is comfortably the fastest-selling Harry Potter game. When the digital data arrived at the end of last week, it revealed that Hogwarts Legacy's launch was 88% bigger in the UK than the launch of last year's Elden Ring. Outside of Call of Duty and FIFA, it is the fastest-selling video game since Red Dead Redemption 2.

The digital data for its second week will be available later. With the PS5, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of the game due to arrive later in the year, it's likely the title will continue to appear in the charts all year.
