Within the first two week of the game&#8217;s launch, the game saw record sales. &#8220;Hogwarts Legacy&#8221; The game sold over 12 million units and earned more than $850 millions in sales. It is the biggest worldwide launch in Warner Bros. Games History and it was also the fastest-selling video game ever.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the association of the creator with the game, many trans activists opposed the release. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/jk-rowling\">J.K.
