The success bumped Fallout 4's concurrent player record of 472,962 down into third place, with Hogwarts Legacy now trailing just Cyberpunk 2077, which despite its rocky launch was able to achieve a staggering concurrent player count of 1,054,388.

Fallout 4: 472,962 /HFOEiFFCup- Benji-Sales February 8, 2023.Hogwarts Legacy Early Access has passed the All-Time Steam Peak of Fallout 4 Hogwarts Legacy is now the #2 highest peak in history for a paid single-player only game (Elden Ring has multiplayer) only behind Cyberpunk 2077 Peak It feels fixable with patches, and hopefully it gets fixed, because the PC version’s performance issues are really just a wrinkle in the ointment of a game that’s surprisingly detailed and full of different systems.As spotted by VGC, analyst Benji-Sales tweeted that Avalanche Software’s wizarding RPG has already achieved an all time concurrent player peak of 474,144, which has since risen by over 15,000 to 489,139.īenji-Sales noted that the pre-launch figure represents the second highest player peak for any paid, single player game in the history of the Steam platform according to SteamDB. Many sections had poor framerates, making tough jumping puzzles and combat difficult with unpredictable stuttering.

This was one of the worst moments that we saw in terms of performance, but bugs of that calibre were common during the 20 hours we spent with the game. Walking into Hogsmeade’s town square early in the game every NPC in the square started to shimmer in and out of existence, flickering wildly as the trees slowly grew and shook until basically nothing could be seen. Walking into certain areas will see trees violently shaking themselves like a malfunctioning Whomping Willow, obscuring vision as the framerate drops into the single digits. We’ve seen several games recently with deeply flawed PC builds, and it appears, sadly, that Hogwarts Legacy is one of them.
