The majority of 2023's Hogwarts Legacy physical sales in the UK came from the PlayStation 5 version, followed by the PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions.

2023 for the Wowhead team was a year of growth and discovery for the site, and your support makes it all worthwhile. We had a whirlwind year continuing to cover Dragonflight and WotLK Classic, while expanding to Diablo IV and Season of Discovery. Members of our staff have reflected back on the past year, sharing what we're particularly proud of on our site in 2023 (as well as a few cat pics).

Hello! Welcome to the 308th edition of the WoW Economy Weekly Wrap-up! This week we take a look back over 2023 and discuss all the major things that have happened over the year to completely change the face of gold making as we know it. My name is Samadan and I'll be your guide through the World of Gold Making!

2023 in Review: Another year, another endless news cycle driven by the world's top corporate executives, with moments ranging from cringe-worthy to downright bizarre. While some CEOs seemed to relish the spotlight, Elon Musk chief among them, others were inadvertently thrust into social media's harsh glare. Elon Musk, Sam Altman to Marc Benioff, here are some of the most high-profile management misadventures:

As the final echoes of 2023 reverberate through the gaming world, KRAFTON India and Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) take a moment to celebrate a year brimming with epic battles, monumental achievements, and a surge in popularity. With BGMI's total downloads surpassing a staggering 199 million and 2023 alone witnessing over 100 million downloads, the year solidifies BGMI's standing as India's premier battle royale game. Check out the BGMI 2023 trends and more below.

2023 has been full of big name games making big splashes, from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to Baldur’s Gate 3 to… Redfall. That’s right, while this year might have had some huge hits, it was also one full of truly eye-popping misses – in fact, IGN published more game reviews with a 4 out of 10 score or below in 2023 than any year since we switched to the 10-point scale by more than double, including our first 1 in about a decade. High highs were coupled with low lows, and all those nostalgic remakes and sequels came alongside a different sort of blast from the past thanks to a slew of underwhelming licensed games, be that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Skull Island: Rise of Kong, or The Walking Dead: Destinies.

Alex, Jen, and Matt have collected their gongs for the second episode of the IGN UK alternative awards. This week it's all about games, and there's not a single one for Baldur's Gate 3 (although that didn't stop Matt from bringing it up). There's no regard here for the best gameplay or most impressive mechanics - instead tune in to learn what the year's best sound effect was, the game with the best use of bad graphics, and the open world that lasted longer than Alex's holiday in France.
