Hogwarts Legacy is about to launch on the Nintendo Switch on November 14th. Avalanche Software is finally launching the game for the Switch. This news has fans’ attention back at Hogwarts Legacy. With the game being out since February, it has seen its fair share of placements in the Top 10 UK Boxed Charts. Although the game has held the rank 1 position quite a few times, it started to fall off in recent weeks.

Titles like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Spider-Man 2, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage all have been extremely successful with millions of sales each. With such titles going neck to neck for rank 1, a title that is months old like Hogwarts Legacy still manages to keep up.
