RECOMMENDED:

    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

We don't know yet whether that will be AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), or maybe even some other upscaling method created specifically for the game by the development team.

Sadly enough, PC gamers, alongside Xbox and Nintendo gamers, will have to miss out on a side quest and the Felix Felicis potion recipe since they'll be exclusive to PlayStation players.

Warner Bros. Games also revealed the Hogwarts Legacy Collector's Edition this week. The package includes the following items:

  • Steel Case & Full Game (Deluxe Edition)
  • Collector’s Edition Box
  • Life-Size Floating Wand with Book Base
  • Dark Arts Pack

Hogwarts Legacy was recently delayed to February 10th, 2023, as Avalanche Software requested additional time to polish the ambitious game properly.

Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world action RPG set in the world first introduced in the Harry Potter books. Embark on a journey through familiar and new locations as you explore and discover magical beasts, customize your character and craft potions, master spell casting, upgrade talents and become the wizard you want to be.
