Hogwarts Legacy was one of 2023’s more controversial releases, thanks to it being attached to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and her transphobic views, but it was, unsurprisingly, also among the biggest games of the year, something that’s been reflected in its sales as well.
Demon’s Souls Remake Has Shipped Over 2 Million Units, Returnal at 1 Million

Undisclosed sales figures for a number of first party PlayStation titles have leaked following Insomniac Games’ recent data breach, from Days Gone and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Bloodborne.
An internal document from that leak, shared on ResetEra, has also revealed sales and shipment numbers for several PS5 titles. For starters, there’s Bluepoint Games’ Demon’s Souls remake, which was available exclusively on PS5 as a launch title. As per the aforementioned document, which is dated February 2022, the remake has shipped over 2 million units worldwide, of which over 1.8 million copies have sold through.
Another first party PS5 exclusive, Returnal, has shipped over a million units, as per the leak, with 866,000 units having sold through. It’s worth noting, however, that the third-person shooter hadn’t launched for PC at this point (not that it enjoyed a great deal of success on the platform).
The last (and first) time Sony provided a sales update for Housemarque’s roguelite shooter was back in June 2021, at which point Returnal had sold over 560,000 units. Later that year, Sony revealed that the Demon’s Souls remake had sold 1.4 million copies.
Insomniac’s data breach also reveals sales numbers for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, another PS5 launch title, which has over 1.5 million units worldwide, with sell-through of over 1.2 million units. Like Returnal, it, too, hadn’t launched for PC at this time, though it, too, performed poorly on the platform. As per leaked documents, the platformer has sold just over 62,000 units on PC.
The leaked document also states that PS4’s Gran Turismo Sport has shipped nearly 13 million units to date. Back in February 2021, Sony announced that the game had surpassed 9.5 million players. The racing sim’s online services are set to end on January 31.

Like A Dragon Dev Shoots Down Hopes For A Yakuza: Dead Souls Remake
The Like A Dragon (formerly Yakuza) series is more popular than it's ever been at the moment, and its newfound success has convinced developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios to return to its older and more niche titles and give them a fresh coat of paint. Like a Dragon: Ishin came to the West for the first time earlier this year, and Yakuza: Dead Souls fans had hoped the zombie-slaying spinoff would get the same love down the road.

Sunset Overdrive 2 Was Seemingly in Development at One Point
Sunset Overdrive may not have enjoyed the sort of universal, mainstream critical and commercial success that developer Insomniac Games would go on to enjoy with its Spider-Man games, but in spite of its relatively lower-profile nature, it had its own dedicated fanbase- one that has been holding out hope for a sequel for nearly a decade at this point. And as it turns out, a sequel was indeed in development at Insomniac once.
