Activists lost: Hogwarts Legacy turned out to be the best-selling game of the first week of 2025 in the UK

There was a time when people tried to cancel Hogwarts Legacy, but gamers continue to actively buy such a “terrible” game.

The year 2025 is starting very well for Hogwarts Legacy. The game not only returned to the British chart, but also topped it.

You can also see several “traditional” titles on the list — the annual football simulator EA Sports FC, Call of Duty, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and other Nintendo games.

  1. Hogwarts Legacy;
