However, at least for now, it looks like when you buy a copy of Hogwarts Legacy it will be locked to a single platform, so choose carefully before hitting that pre-order button. However, it will not offer access to the native next-gen version, which will likely feature specific enhancements such as higher frame rates and faster loading times.Īt the time of writing, digital pre-orders have not yet gone live, and there is a possibility that current pre-order information is just a placeholder.

Players who opt for the cheaper PS4/Xbox One version of Hogwarts Legacy should still be able to play the game on PS5/Xbox Series X via backwards compatibility.

#HOGWARTS LEGACY CROSS PLAY UPGRADE#

An upgrade path allows gamers to still use the last-gen hardware to purchase games for their current consoles and continue playing when the next-gen systems finally take hold. But the Hogwarts legacy seems to be moving away from this customer-friendly practice.Īlternatively, some games such as Horizon Forbidden West have offered a next-gen upgrade for a small fee ($10/£10), but again there is no mention of this in the Hogwarts Legacy pre-order listing.Ī free, or even paid, next-gen upgrade is especially useful for gamers who are still hunting down a PS5 restock or Xbox Series X restock. Some cross-gen games, including Elden Ring, have offered players purchasing the game on PS4/Xbox One an upgrade to the PS5/Xbox Series X version at no additional cost. It appears that Hogwarts Legacy won’t offer any sort of next-generation upgrade path. The news only gets worse from here, as Hogwarts Legacy pre-orders reveal an unwanted surprise.

This puts the game in line with PlayStation exclusives such as Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7, but is more expensive than the standard retail price for games like Elden Ring, which is a bit more attractive at $60.Īt least on the last-gen systems, PS4 and Xbox One, the game will cost $60, but anyone looking to play on the next-gen console will have to pay an additional premium for the privilege. What’s less impressive is the game’s obvious price tag and lack of upgrade paths for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.įollowing its gameplay showcase last week, Hogwarts Legacy pre orders have started to appear at multiple retailers, and it looks like the game will cost $70 on next-gen consoles. Players will also encounter missions and scenarios that will pose difficult choices and determine what they stand.Last week we took our first look at Hogwarts Legacy gameplay via a PlayStation State of Play dedicated exclusively to Harry Potter RPG, and we were pretty impressed with what we saw. They will grow their character’s abilities as they master powerful spells, hone combat skills and select companions to help them face off against deadly enemies. Hogwarts Legacy will be filled with immersive magic, putting players at the center of their adventure to become the witch or wizard they choose to be. Additionally, players will grow their magical abilities by mastering spells, brewing potions and taming fantastic beasts. Players will make allies, battle Dark wizards, and decide the fate of the wizarding world. Your character is a student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart. In this game, players will e xperience a new story set at Hogwarts in the 1800s. Hogwarts Legacy is a third-person immersive, open-world action RPG, developed by Avalanche Software. It’s also worth noting that Hogwarts Legacy will include accessibility features. After all, Warner Bros was one of the companies that forced a ridiculous amount of MTX in one of its games, Middle-earth: Shadow of War. The fact that the game won’t have any MTX is quite refreshing. The company has also stated that this will be a single-player-only game, and won’t have any online co-op support.

Warner Bros has revealed that Hogwarts Legacy won’t have any in-game purchases or microtransactions.
