Hogwarts Legacy is Best-Selling US Game for 2023
Hogwarts Legacy has become the best-selling game in the US for February 2023, as well as the entirety of 2023 so far. While certainly the biggest selling of the month’s new releases, it wasn’t the only game to feature in the top 20 list.
Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game on all platforms
Not only was Hogwarts Legacy the best-selling US game for February 2023 overall, it also topped the PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam leaderboards according to Circana (formerly NPD) data provided by Mat Piscatella. This pushes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II into second spot, while Dead Space Remake falls to third.
Other new games to sell well during February include Wild Hearts (#8), Like a Dragon: Ishin! (#9) and Octopath Traveler II (#10). Of those games, Wild Hearts also managed to scrape into the top 20 best-selling games of 2023 overall in #20.
Notably, The Last of Us: Part 1 has climbed the monthly sales chart to reach #6, while The Last of Us Part II climbed a massive 23 spots to reach #18, all thanks to the recent HBO TV show. It’s worth noting the figures for the former game will not be affected by yesterday’s fairly rocky PC release and those sales will be reflected in next month’s data.
