Hogwarts Legacy is launching on Nintendo Switch next month, and the game has finally become available for pre-order on the eShop. The listing also provided the first screenshots of the Switch version of the game, allowing users to see with their own eyes how the new version of the game will look.
The new screenshots, which can be found below, highlight the unsurprising visual differences with the other versions of the game. What will really be interesting to see, however, will be Hogwarts Legacy's performance on Switch, as open-world games don't tend to run particularly well on the console due to its limited specs compared to both current and previous-generation systems.
The Hogwarts Legacy Nintendo Switch eShop listing also confirmed for good how the game will be a native release and not a cloud version, and the total storage space required, which will amount to around 7 GB.

Hogwarts Legacy is, for better or worse, an entertaining and engaging game. By far the best digital version of the wizarding world, it offers a vast swathe of things to do. Even the more mundane elements (bandit camps!) are improved by a robust combat system that genuinely makes you feel like you're a part of the Harry Potter universe.
Hogwarts Legacy is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One worldwide. It will launch on Nintendo Switch on November 11th.
