It becomes a success as soon as it is released.

The Harry Potter franchise is one of the most important in the audiovisual industry, of that we can have no doubt, but there was something missing. Yes, the books were adapted into movies, and they were liked by most of the public, getting many people to know this magical world, but in the world of video games things were totally different. Unfortunately, the titles that were released, and that were based on this franchise, did not manage to reach the expected levels of quality, making that, with certain exceptions, they could not transcend.
Luckily, Hogwarts Legacy was announced some time ago, a video game that would allow us to live our own life as a student at Hogwarts, and which is already available. As you can read in our Hogwarts Legacy analysis, we are talking about a video game that has achieved its goal, but it has also been a complete success among the public, something that its data on Steam refute.
Hogwarts Legacy: one of the most successful titles on its release on Steam
Everyone knows that the popularity of a game on PC tends to be measured by its concurrent users on Steam, especially in the number that they reap on the day of their launch, as well as in the subsequent days. Well, if we follow that rule of three, we can conclude that Hogwarts Legacy has been a dream launch.
To be more specific, it has managed to position itself as the second best debut of a single player, at least on Steam. Specifically, it exceeded 800,000 concurrent users, something that makes it surpass practically all game releases of the style, except for one, Cyberpunk 2077, a game that had considerable problems, as you can see in our analysis of it.
Of course, this is a milestone for the franchise, and as we said at the beginning, this It is the first time that he has succeeded in sweeping another sector. He already did it in literature, then he repeated his success with the cinema, and now he has done it with video games. It seems that we are talking about a saga that is very given to reap success (although it does not always succeed).
