Hogwarts Legacy tops nearly one billion dollars in revenue since February 10

Keep in mind that Modern Warfare 2 was released on both current-gen and last-gen platforms (by the way, rumors claim that Call of Duty 2024 will do the same as well).

You can only imagine just how much more Hogwarts Legacy could have sold since February 10 if it had a universal release date across multiple platforms. As it is, the PS4 and Xbox One versions will come later this year, followed by the Switch port.

With that said, it's clear that Hogwarts Legacy benefitted from the free publicity generated by the controversy surrounding the Wizarding World creator, J.K. Rowling. The official term for this is the Streisand Effect, which is a term coined after the American actress and singer, Barbra Streisand, who ended up drawing more attention to her cliff-top Malibu residence when she attempted to prevent it from spreading.

At this point, Hogwarts Legacy is all but guaranteed to get at least one more expansion and a sequel in the future.

For now, try not to get your hopes too high up for a DLC. Avalanche Software clarified there are no plans to release DLC for Hogwarts Legacy. But, we're pretty sure the studio will circle back to that idea once Hogwarts Legacy has been out on all platforms. Ignoring the potential sales of a half-decent DLC for Hogwarts Legacy is as ludicrous as the spell Rictumsempra.
