UPDATE: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hogwarts Legacy has climbed even higher꧃ up Steam's Top Sellers list after reaching fourth place just two weeksꦿ ago.

As reported by @BenjiSales on Twitter, Hogwarts Legacy has managed to reach second place in Steam's Top Sellers list last week (beaten only by Valve's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Deck), m🐎aking it the digital storefront's best-selling game of the week.

list too. We recently found out about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hogwarts Legacy's PC specs, which could have driven interest in the game 🍷on said platform. 

According to BenjiSales' tweet, the magical open-world adventure managed to beat out the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Raft, and even 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring last week. At the time of writing this though, it has already been knocked down a few pegs by Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FIFA 23. Let's see 🌳if this pattern continues as we get closer to Hogwarts Legacy's release on February 10, 2023.    

ORIGINAL: Hogwarts Legacy is gearing up for a massive PC launch, if its early sales are 🔜anything to go by.

Twitter user BenjiSales, who highlights sales data and trends in the games industry, noted that despite being more than a month away from release, Hogwarts Legacy hit number fo🉐ur on last week's Steam best sellers list. It's far from unheard-of for preorders to make their way onto that list, but doing so more than a month from launch is definitely notable.

Hogwarts Legacy's success puts it up alongside some serious juggernauts of Steam's top sellers list. At number four, it was only beaten by Valve's chronically sought-after Steam Deck, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring. The latter, in particular, was coming off an unprecedented week in which it claimed The Last of Us 2's record as the most-awarded Game of the Year ever, and saw its first significant discount during the Steam Winter Sale. At time of writing, that momentum shows no sign of slowing,🥃 as it's also sitting at number two on Stea🌼m's list of right now.

It's no surprise that Hogwarts Legacy is expecting a significant launch. There's a massive franchise behind it in the form of Harry Potter, and it recently overtook apocalyptic MMO 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Day Before as Steam's most-wishlisted title. It's hard to get a true sense of how it'll fare on console, but its current popularity on PC means it could be one of the biggest 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games 2023 we see this year.
