- When Hogwarts Legacy was released, almost 880,000 PC players played at the same time.

- Hogwarts Legacy on PC is seeing a player drop of over 90 percent.
At release, Hogwarts Legacy was so successful that the role-playing game set a Twitch record, but now the “Harry Potter” title is seeing a decline in player numbers.
According to statistics, shortly after the release there were a total of 879,308 simultaneous players on SteamDB. Within the last 24 hours (March 23), however, only 57,380 players, around 7 percent, played simultaneously.
