Hogwarts Legacy on track to clear Modern Warfare 3 as 2023\u2019s best-selling game Avalanche SoftwareHogwarts Legacy has nabbed the top spot in the latest rankings for 2023\u2019s top-selling games. While Modern Warfare 3 sales flagged in comparison to last year\u2019s Modern Warfare 2. The latest sales rankings for 2023\u2019s top games have been released, and the results have a few surprises. Most notably, Hogwarts Legacy; a standalone, single-player title has taken the number one spot. The title, which saw some polarizing opinions across social media when it dropped, is reportedly on track to reach 20 million copies sold. And it\u2019s currently outselling both Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo IV. It\u2019s worth noting that MW3 only dropped last month, while Hogwarts Legacy was one of 2023\u2019s first triple A releases and has had all year to accrue sales. Still, it\u2019s unusual to see a game that\u2019s basically done and dusted rank so highly among the top games sold at year\u2019s end, there\u2019s also been no additional DLC announced for it to date. And it\u2019s managed to overtake a number of other popular titles, including Game Awards favorites. Hogwarts \u2014 which wasn\u2019t nominated in a single category at this year\u2019s Game Awards \u2014 also managed to beat sales of 2022\u2019s top award winner; Elden Ring. This year\u2019s game of the year winner, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, hasn\u2019t made the list for 20 games sold yet. Though it\u2019s worth keeping in mind this particular list doesn\u2019t track digital sales, of which BG3 has certainly sold plenty. There\u2019s a fair chance Hogwarts Legacy is on a lot of people\u2019s Christmas lists this year, and as it\u2019s available across consoles and PC, it\u2019s likely receiving a bit of a boost in sales at the end of the year. Still, 20 million copies thus far is nothing to sneer at, even with help from Santa. Whether Hogwarts Legacy will stay on top to end the year, however, remains to be seen. But it\u2019s certainly interesting to see it maintain such impressive sales throughout the first year of its release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
