PS5 and Hogwarts Legacy Dominate February 2023 Sales Charts in the US

Hogwarts Legacy, developed by Avalanche Software, has become the best-selling game of 2023 in the US, according to Circana's monthly video game sales report for February 2023. The game has been embroiled in controversy due to transphobic remarks from Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who stands to profit from its success. Despite this, the game has topped the sales charts, with spending on game content, hardware, and accessories reaching a total of $4.6 billion in sales during February 2023, up 6% from the same time in 2022. The PS5 was the best-selling platform in February 2023, and year-to-date overall.
