Warner Bros. has revealed just how successful Hogwarts Legacy has become.
The Harry Potter universe has been a reliable audience magnet for decades.
Interest has extended far beyond books and films and into the gaming industry, where expectations were high even before the launch of a major new project.
When an ambitious game set in the wizarding world was announced, many predicted that the franchise’s appeal would not falter.
The numbers now show how that prediction has played out.
Magic sells
According to its own figures, Warner Bros. has announced that Hogwarts Legacy has now surpassed 40 million copies sold worldwide.
This places the game among the most successful releases in the company’s portfolio.
The title launched as a full-price product and for a long period was only available through direct purchase.
As a result, the sales figures primarily reflect players who bought the game individually.
The result confirms the expectations expressed by analysts and industry observers at the time of the announcement, when there was broad agreement that the game would achieve strong commercial momentum.
New paths ahead
In the second half of 2025, Hogwarts Legacy was also added to subscription services such as PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass.
In addition, the game was made available for free on the Epic Games Store for a limited time.
According to Warner Bros., these downloads are not included in the total number of sold copies. The figures therefore reflect traditional sales only.
The success comes as Warner Bros. prepares for a change in ownership.
With several projects delivering strong results, the incoming owner will inherit a lineup of well-established and highly profitable franchises.
