Forums - Sales Discussion - Hogwarts Legacy 267 Million Hours Played. Over 10 million players?

“Hogwarts Legacy” has now seen 267 million hours played, 393 million magical plants grown, 242 million potions brewed and 1.25 billion Dark Wizards defeated. Warner Bros. sees “Hogwarts Legacy” as a long-term franchise. “We are very pleased with the initial launch and see a bright future for our other platform launches,” Haddad says.

Hogwarts Legacy has surpassed 267 Million Hours Played. Not a particularly useful metric on it's own however we do have access to average playtime for steam through various tracking sites. According to Steam Spy the average playtime for Hogwarts Legacy is 24 hours 47 minutes.

Using this average steam playtime we can roughly estimate that Hogwarts Legacy has 10.7 million players. There is a lot of room for error here as the average playtime is not necessarily the same across all platforms, private steam profiles are not tracked and people who have purchased the game but not played it will not be included in the average playtime figure either.

>10m definitely seems possible. Good to know they're planning it as a long term franchise. I look forward to trying out the game myself at some point!



you would think they would announce 10m units over the amount of hours

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

According to Variety, Hogwarts Legacy has sold 12M units in two weeks.

Yes and up to 280 million hours played which would have come out at 11.3m using steam average. So not too far off using that method.

Using other metrics than the sold units has always been kinda of a bad way to usually estimate the sold units of any game.
Nonetheless, in regards for it's big launch, I do believe it has reached the 10M at least sell-in wise

Do we have numbers for other Harry Potter universe games?

I believe Hogwarts Legacy already beat all of them if those numbers are correct.



Definitely gonna look into getting it on the Switch if they did a good job on that version and if the game is solid



heh, why announce 10m in sales when you can announce 12m instead?



Oddly enough, my playtime went from 48 hours to 2minutes when I installed a patch on my Steam Deck
