“Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions,” the latest Quidditch-themed video game from Unbroken Studios, is marking a milestone with its first-ever double XP weekend. From September 7 until September 8, 11:59 PM PT, players can earn twice the usual amount of experience points (XP), offering a great opportunity to unlock various in-game rewards faster.
This event is significant for fans of the franchise, as the game serves as a spiritual successor to the 2003 release “Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup,” the last Quidditch-centered video game. “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions,” launched on September 3 for PC and the latest consoles, has quickly gained traction, with thousands of players already engaging with the title.
The event’s double XP promotion means that players can more easily unlock coveted items, such as the Legendary Papercraft Hagrid Mask, only available at Level 40 in the Season 0 battle pass. This event is an excellent opportunity for players looking to level up their characters quickly and obtain exclusive cosmetic rewards.
While this double XP event is primarily focused on player progression, it’s also a strategy to boost engagement within the gaming community, especially during its launch period. Early sales data from third-party sources like PlayTracker and VG Insights show that the game has seen significant success, with Steam alone registering thousands of sales and peaking at nearly 6,600 concurrent players within the first week of release.
In addition to the event, Unbroken Studios also rolled out a minor patch on September 4 to improve game performance, resolving issues like crashes and optimizing the experience for Steam Deck users. This ensures smoother gameplay as players dive into this limited-time double XP opportunity.
With these updates and the added appeal of being one of Sony’s free PlayStation Plus games for September 2024, “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” is set to continue its upward trajectory. As fans gear up for more competitive matches, the double XP weekend offers the perfect moment to jump in and take advantage of the rewards on offer.
