Unfortunately, Switch players will have to wait even longer than PS4 and Xbox One gamers to get their hands on the game. The game, however, is surely worth the wait, as it has over 93% positive reviews on Steam, and all the known video game media outlets can’t stop talking about its captivating gameplay.

2. Where can I buy Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy’s standard and deluxe editions are available in the following stores for the respective platforms: 

The standard game version is available for $69.99, while the deluxe edition can be purchased for $79.99. The game’s standard edition will cost only $59.99 on PS4 and Xbox One, but the prices of the deluxe edition will be the same as for the new-gen consoles.

3. Hogwarts Legacy Standard Edition vs. Deluxe Edition vs. Collector’s Edition

The Standard Edition of Hogwarts Legacy only contains the base game. PlayStation players will additionally get the Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest as PS-exclusive content.

On the other hand, Deluxe Edition, apart from the base game and PS-exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest, contains the Dark Arts pack that offers Thestral Mount, Dark Arts Cosmetic Set, and Dark Arts battle arena.

Lastly, the collector’s edition offers the full base game, Collector’s Edition Box, Dark Arts Pack, a physical Steel case, and a Floating wand with a book base.

4. How much does the Hogwarts Legacy Collector’s Edition cost?

The Hogwarts Legacy Collector’s Edition is available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X for $299.99 and on PC for $289.99. It is expensive because of the limited-edition physical merchandise included in the box.

Surprisingly, despite the extravagant pricing, the collector’s editions have disappeared from the store “shelves” within hours of the game’s release.

5. How long it takes to beat Hogwarts Legacy?

Hogwarts Legacy’s main storyline can be completed in around 30 hours, and a completionist run (100% completion) of the game takes about only 37 hours, according to the website HowLongToBeat.com.

The above-mentioned time is only relevant if you strictly stick to the quests necessary to complete the main story. If you get distracted by side quests or start exploring the beautiful landscapes in the game, then it will surely take you more than just 30 hours. 

6. Is Hogwarts Legacy difficult?

Hogwarts Legacy is a simple action RPG due to its simple gameplay and easy-to-understand mechanics. Moreover, it offers four difficult options. You can choose either one depending on your skill level.

The four difficulty options can be understood in the following manner:

  • Story: Focuses mainly on the story, minimal gameplay, and challenges.
  • Easy: Light gameplay, ideal for beginners or those who want to focus on the story but have more challenges than the first option.
  • Normal: The best option for seasoned gamers, as it covers the story and gameplay equally.
  • Hard: For pros looking for a more demanding gameplay, de-prioritizing the story experience.

7. About Hogwarts Legacy

Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world RPG from Avalanche Studio. The game places the player in the wizarding school of Hogwarts, allowing them to witness the iconic locations as a character other than Harry Potter. 

The game has an expansive map that makes the game very immersive, even for people who are yet to read the books or watched the movie.

The mysterious, gripping storyline, with the vast areas to explored, either on foot or broomstick, makes it even more real life.
