Very few games come close to how big Hogwarts Legacy has been. The best part is that it hasn't even fully launched yet. Hogwarts Legacy should sell more units once it's out on the PS4 and Xbox One as well as the Switch.

Even so, it's still pretty amazing to hear just how many copies are being sold.

Case in point, a report from GamesIndustry.biz outlined that Hogwarts Legacy is the biggest game ever to launch in Europe since 2017. This means that its numbers are better than The Last of Us Part II, every Call of Duty entry in the last six years, Red Dead Redemption 2, and last year's chart-topper, Elden Ring.

The only game to sell more than Hogwarts Legacy in Europe is the five FIFA installments that have come out since tracking began in 2017, and that isn't exactly a knock on Hogwarts Legacy.

In Europe, football, the sport's governing body, and the franchise named after the governing body of the sport, are the holy trinity of untouchables.
