The game is great, and it runs very well on a old graphic cards.
This will do insane numbers on steam.

Why is the game so massive? It's not even the proper HP characters if I understand correctly?

245,516 concurrent now, insane numbers.

I think because it genuinely is/looks like an excellent action RPG game set in the Hogwarts/wizarding world.

Impressive. Not a big HP fan but it does look like a solid action RPG. Excited to try it out eventually.

This is gonna be the biggest selling game of the year. Can’t see anything matching it.

I don't know anything about HP/WW but you can clearly see that the game is a straight up love letter to the people who grew up with this story and wanted to be in it themselves. So far there's nothing particularly special about the game other than it's serious treatment of the source material in a way we've never really seen before. . . but then when you think that this game comes from folks who already have experience with licensed IPs and a larger game publisher that knows open world games based on existing IP (Batman, Tolkien) it's should probably not be a surprise that the WW has been so lovingly realized.
. . . shame about the HUD though.
Really? You can't think of ANY games that are releasing this year that will beat this, one game which will enthrall STARry eyed gamers and dominate the FIELD when it comes out?

Because Harry Potter is still absolutely massive.
It doesnt have HP characters in it, sure. But it's the same world. And I'm pretty sure everyone that loved HP back in the day at one point wishes for an RPG where they could make their own character and roleplay in Hogwarts.
And that's literally what this game is.

What about the hud? You can straight up turn it off. It's much more fun this way too. Just follow the gold butterfly if you don't know where to go.

Good game in a massive IP that’s not just cheap licensing.

I don't think new Spider-Man will beat itReally? You can't think of ANY games that are releasing this year that will beat this, one game which will enthrall STARrry where gamers and dominate the FIELD when it comes out?
Anyway, it's a giant fanbase (HP books still regularly top the charts) + people like myself who really want big fantasy RPG to run around in. You'd think market would be flooded with attempts to create one, but nope...

What to dominate a game that is available in a subscription service, who is going buy something that you can get as item in Gamepass library. (3 idiots left that cry about their right to own a game?)I don't know anything about HP/WW but you can clearly see that the game is a straight up love letter to the people who grew up with this story and wanted to be in it themselves.

According to data collected by SteamDB, we have at this time of writing 249,542 people playing Hogwarts Legacy on Steam alone, and the number keeps rising.
As a comparison to recently released titles, Forspoken peaked at just 12,579. Now with Dead Space Remake, there were 30,925 concurrent players.
And the number only tends to go up a lot with the official launch of the game, which will be on the 10th of February. Hogwarts Legacy has a great chance of making the list of the most played titles on Steam, and maybe standing next to Cyberpunk 2077, one of the few single-player that recorded a maximum peak of 1,054,388 players.

Glad to see the people who made the game and worked arses off will have a studio that survives. I would be extremely surprised to see them get shuttered now.
Shame that one dude got fired for wrong think however.
Insane that a bunch of loons could literally jeopardize your livelihood over something so trivial as a "mean tweet" that someone you aren't even remotely connected to tweeted.
They'll all use tiktok and phones/tablets made in slave camps however while literal genocide happens

It's gonna break the record for sure. You can't go anywhere on the internet without seeing hogwarts legacy.
Complete and utter misfiring on the idea of boycotting. Streisand effect in full swing.

The numbers are more than that.
If average numbers for 24 hour is 200k, and people play the game for 1-3 hour with steam refresh every 1 hour. Then that would give us an estimate of
4.8m players (every 1 hour refresh).
2.4m players(every 2 hour refresh).
1.6m players(every 3 hour refresh).
So steam players should be between 1.6m to 5m players.
This is if everyone played from 1 hour 3 hour.
The numbers should be higher than that.

Quick, create a throwaway REE account and post the numbers there.
The numbers will absolutely trigger them!
