Hogwart's Legacy gained another 4k TA users today, moving it above Undertale and Dark Souls 2. For those curious how it is stacking up against other RPG's/action RPG's, here is where it falls in the ranking currently, less than a week after it's official release date:

(Bolded games were or are currently on Gamepass, or were on Games with Gold in the past and will have a non-sales player boost as a result. Some of these also may have been artificially boosted with F2P weekends, but too much work to look those up)

-snip-

Destiny 2 turned F2P from what I remember so it's not really comparable.
Cyberpunk has a free trial
Warframe is F2P
Borderlands 3 definitely was part of the Free Play Days
The Division 2 too
Neverwinter is F2P
Trove is F2P
Dauntless is F2P
Lost Odyssey and Too Human were made avaiable for free for a few weeks

Basically Hogwarts Legacy isn't really comparable (yet) to the rest as 90% of games on that list have an inflated player count.

Yeah, nearly every game that is above Hogwarts Legacy now has a boosted player count from either being on Gamepass, GWG, F2P weekends, free giveaways, or just being a F2P game to start with. Pretty darn impressive how far Hogwarts has made it up the rankings in just a week or so as a $70-80 game. If Hogwarts ever makes it to Gamepass (will take at least a year for that to happen as Sony marketing deals prevent a game from hitting Gamepass for 1 year), it will definitely make it to near the top of this list I think. Even without a Gamepass boost, 300k+ TA users lifetime seems likely to me, after it gets some price cuts and big digital sale discounts. The fact that it is still pulling in about 4k new TA users per day is quite impressive. And this game is very casual friendly, so you know it's getting alot of non-TA user sales, I've heard stories of non-gamers buying a console just to live out their dreams of being a Hogwarts student, or gamers convincing their non-gamer significant others to play Hogwarts Legacy as their first ever game.
