Not surprised Hogwarts Legacy is No.1 The amount of content included in the base game is unbelievable and the open world free roam sandbox game play mechanics are on the same scale as Skyrim. Exploding the map alone can literally take hours. Hogwarts Legacy is an absolutely amazing ARPG.
Im not certain but Hogwarts Legacy has an option on the main menu that literally says “additional content” all that’s currently available is the Dark Arts cosmetic dlc, but i highly doubt they would have an entire option on the main menu just for one dlc pack and wouldn’t have an option that literally says “additional content” unless the dev’s have some unannounced scheduled dlc planned.
