Hogwarts Legacy Release Date: Explaining the Harry Potter Game’s Staggered Launch

With delays revealed for the game’s PS4 and Xbox One versions, the Hogwarts Legacy release date has become a bit more tricky.

All right, everyone. Before the game arrives through your door like an admission letter to Hogwarts, you’ll need to wait a little longer if you’ve preordered the previous generation version of Hogwarts Legacy from GAME, Argos, or anywhere else.

We think we are waiting on the platform for the Hogwarts Express, which is late. It’s comparable to showing up at Gringotts only to discover that it hasn’t opened. Okay, I think I’ve used enough strained similes. You see what I mean.

Continue reading to see the critical specifics of this fascinating release date schedule and when players may begin playing Hogwarts Legacy on all those additional platforms.

Hogwarts Legacy Release Date

The Hogwarts Legacy release date will now be spaced out across these dates after accounting for the most recent delays:

• 10th February for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC
• 5th May for PS4 and Xbox One
• July 25 for Nintendo Switch

It’s also important to note that players who purchased the Deluxe Edition get 72 hours of Hogwarts Legacy early access. On February 7, owners of that version for PC and next-generation consoles could start playing early.

For a while now, players on computers and the most recent consoles have been venturing into the legendary castle and its environs, picking up their brooms and wands, making their own potions and plants, learning spells and breeding beasts, upgrading equipment and gathering Demiguise statues, and ultimately making their way towards the game’s various endings.

You can do a few things to prepare for the wizarding academic year while waiting for the PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch releases. To begin character customization a little early, you might, for instance, take the Hogwarts Legacy house-sorting quiz and look at the Hogwarts Legacy name generator.
