When it launched, Hogwarts Legacy breached over 1.2 concurrent million watchers on Twitch making it the second highest watched game on the platform. With that much interest, it’s not surprising that it has translated to people wanting to play it, and that’s just what happened, as the Hogwarts Legacy concurrent player count on Steam has breached 850,000!
Peaking at 879.308 today, Hogwarts Legacy managed to crack the top 10 concurrent player count high on Steam! More impressive stats from the game’s Steam performance (via SteamDB):
- 8th Highest peak ever for any game genre
- 5th Biggest ever for a paid title (not free-to-play)
- 2nd biggest ever for a single-player only game
For reference, the only single-player game that managed to get more concurrent players online is CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077, which managed 1.054 million concurrent players on the platform.
Note that given this number for Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t even count the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S player bases, this number could easily be double or triple that. Now, when you factor in that the game is also slated for release on the PS4, Xbox One and Switch, then it’s safe to say that WB Games and Avalanche Software has a new franchise on their hands.
If you haven’t picked the game up yet, go read our review here to see what all the ruckus is about! We gave it a 10/10 score, and we think it’s very deserving of it.
There is a chance that Hogwarts Legacy breaches 1M or breaks the all-time mark, and if ever it does, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
