Despite the fact that the game is still in early access, Hogwarts Legacy has broken Twitch viewership records!
This is only the beginning of Hogwarts Legacy’s meteoric rise in popularity on Twitch.
From the sheer volume of preorders, it was clear that Avalanche Software’s Hogwarts Legacy would be a hit with gamers, and that excitement has only grown since the game’s release.
About Hogwarts Legacy
Since 2018’s first leaked gameplay footage of Hogwarts Legacy, anticipation for this moment has been growing for months, if not years.
The prospect of attending the magical school in the game has still intrigued fans and even those who aren’t particularly invested in the fandom, despite the game’s possible bad implications for some.
On PS5, Hogwarts Legacy was a best-seller for preorders, and it continues to top Steam’s wishlists to this day.
Already showing signs of being one of 2023’s most popular games, Hogwarts Legacy is gaining steam on Twitch.
How to get the game
Only those who preordered the deluxe edition of Hogwarts Legacy can play the game at this time.
As a result, many supporters are eager to see the game yet lack access to it. As a result, most people’s greatest chance of getting a sneak peek at the game is through watching it from a stream by someone else.
On February 7, almost 1.3 million people watched Hogwarts Legacy on Twitch, making it the most-watched single-player game of all time alongside Valorant, the most-watched FPS on Twitch.
In 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 drew 1.14 million viewers, making it the most-watched video game of all time.
Rewards by watching streams
Partnered streamers with drops enabled have upped the ante by awarding five in-game goodies to viewers who watch two hours of Hogwarts Legacy streams during a three-week time frame.
Only by watching Avalanche Software’s early access or launch stream can fans receive Merlin’s Cloak, while you can earn the other four things by watching the associated streams.
It’s also important to note that while Hogwarts Legacy did exceptionally well in its own right, it fell short of breaking the all-time concurrent record, which currently belongs to League of Legends with 3.11 million spectators.
But even with that number, fans are quite disappointed about the recent release of League’s cinematic trailer, stating that it’s “bland”.
With the complete release of Hogwarts Legacy happening in just two days and the Nintendo Switch version coming out in July, interest in the game is only getting higher over time.
