Hogwarts Legacy is a sales juggernaut

The game has been a massive commercial success, easily becoming the best-selling title of its launch month and reaching over 24 million copies sold as of January 2024. More recently, Hogwarts Legacy was the sixth best-selling game of August 2024 in the U.S, and is the tenth best-selling game of the year so far.

This comes as many other titles in the WB Games portfolio have underperformed, with the aforementioned Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League causing a $200 million loss for its parent company.

NetherRealm's fighting game Mortal Kombat 1 , which launched back in September 2023, quickly reached 3 million copies sold, though there's been no further updates on its sales performance.
