Hogwarts Legacy, an action role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under its Portkey Games label, has generated over $1 billion in retail sales. This impressive feat makes it the largest release of all time for Warner Bros. Games and the best-selling game year-to-date, increasing WB Discovery’s revenue by 7% year-over-year.

Set in the late 1800s, Hogwarts Legacy takes place a century before the events of the Harry Potter novels. Players control a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, learning to wield magical abilities and objects. Alongside fellow students and professors, the protagonist embarks on a journey to uncover an ancient secret hidden within the wizarding world.
