Detroit: Become Human Has Sold 9 Million Copies Worldwide

Warner Bros. Games has announced that the Harry Potter action-RPG Hogwarts Legacy sold over 22 million copies by the end of 2023, with roughly 2 million of those sales over the December festive period. «But it’s not just the units sold that I’m so proud of, it’s just that it delighted the fans so much,» Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad told Variety.

Hogwarts Legacy, the RPG set within the Potterverse, sold over 22 million copies in 2023. Speaking to Variety, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad claimed that it was the best-selling game of the said year and that about 2 million of those sales were made during the Christmas holiday season, presumably owing to heavy discounts. Despite his statement, several developers in the industry, including Larian Studios (Baldur's Gate 3) and Activision (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3) have yet to reveal the latest sales numbers; so, take the claims with a grain of salt.

Developer Massive Monster and publisher Devolver Digital have announced that roguelite title Cult of the Lamb has hit a major milestone; the game has sold over 3.5 million copies. The milestone was announced alongside details of the game’s upcoming Sins of the Flesh update.

Harry Potter spinoff game Hogwarts Legacy managed to sell an astounding 22 million copies in 2023.

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.

Since its release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC last February, developer Avalanche's Hogwarts Legacy has continued to sell well. It has maintained the top position almost every month for best-selling games in the U.S., too. Thanks to a new interview at Variety with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad, we now know Hogwarts Legacy has surpassed 22 million copies sold and it did so in less than a year. 

Much like Soulsborne titles, PvP/PvE survival games like Rust and DayZ are known for being quite punishing. However, it’s this brutality that’s evidently one of the reasons they’re so popular. Speaking of Rust, it recently turned 10 and the developer has shared some interesting stats about the game.

It’s honestly hilarious that we’re starting off 2024 by talking about the game that CD Projekt Red has spent years trying to fix. But when it comes to Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, there are plenty of nice things to discuss. This is the only expansion for the game, and CD Projekt Red put everything they had into it so that it could stand on its own while also building upon everything the main game was supposed to offer. Some even went so far as to say that the expansion was “what was originally promised” while delivering a different kind of story. But, as in all things, the results are all that matter.

CD Projekt RED has announced that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty sold over five million copies last year. The expansion topped three million units sold within its first week and received extensive acclaim from critics and fans.
