during the week ending on September 2. The recently released Armored Core 6 was surpassed by this six-month-old title.

Despite the recent 30% discount on the digital edition of Hogwarts Legacy, it is unlikely that this promotional offer significantly impacted the game's sales figures. The UK Sales Charts solely consider physical unit sales within the United Kingdom to calculate their statistics. This fact is particularly remarkable when taking into account that the inclusion of digital editions would likely result in even higher numbers.
Hogwarts Legacy is projected to maintain strong sales throughout the year, as it is still due to be released on one platform. The game will launch for Nintendo Switch on November 14, joining its availability on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. With its timely release, away from major releases such as Tears of the Kingdom, and with the high demand for AAA open world titles on the Switch, Hogwarts Legacy is expected to perform exceptionally well on the platform.
