It’s Monday and I eat every week GFK Entertainment has shared last week’s video game sales in the UK region, the only region that makes this information public on a weekly basis. Unsurprisingly, Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game of the week, and it’s also the biggest launch ever for a Hogwarts Legacy game. Harry Potter in the region.
At the moment, only the physical sales of the region have been released, so the table could change slightly when the digital sales data is released, but at the moment Hogwarts Legacy at its launch has sold 80% more than Elden Ring in its week of launch in the UK, which is a sign of the success that WB Games is in for considering how well Elden Ring did last year.
That’s not all, as Hogwarts Legacy is also the biggest launch for a Harry Potter video game, finally surpassing 2001’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, which hasn’t lost the crown since. However, the 2001 game had no digital sales, so Hogwarts Legacy’s sales will be much higher when all the data is in.
- Hogwarts Legacy
- God of War: Ragnarok
- FIFA 23
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

As we can see from the list above, God of War: Ragnarok remains in second place once again, followed by FIFA 23 which fell from first place to third place. In fourth place we have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which has just announced that it will receive DLC characters starting with Birdo, followed by Animal Crossing: New Horizons which managed to return to the Top 5.
The rest of the video games that we found in the top 10 include the successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the recently released Dead Space Remake, Nintendo Switch Sports, Minecraft in its Nintendo Switch version and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, which had a resurgence in sales rising from position 18 to number 10.
