Hogwarts Legacy PS4 Release: What We Know So Far

The wait for the release of Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 is almost over, with the game set to hit shelves on . While we're excited to dive back into the world of magic and adventure, there are still some questions surrounding the game's performance on older hardware.

As a fan of the wizarding world, you might be wondering how Hogwarts Legacy will run on your PS4. Unfortunately, it's not clear at this point how Avalanche, the game's developer, plans to get such a technically demanding game running smoothly on last-gen consoles. Assuming the content is largely the same as the PC and next-gen console versions, we've found Hogwarts Legacy to be a fun open-world adventure title with lagging RPG elements.

One thing that sets the PS4 version apart from others is the inclusion of exclusive content. For example, players will get access to a Felix Felicis Potion recipe and the Haunted Hogsmeade Shop quest. Every pre-order comes with an Onyx Hippogriff mount, while the Deluxe Edition adds a Thestral mount and Dark Arts-themed cosmetics - plus a bonus Dark Arts-themed hat if you opt for the Digital Deluxe Edition.

While the Xbox One and PS4 versions are launching late compared to other platforms, they still have the same pre-order bonuses. It's worth noting that we don't know yet whether the Switch version will use cloud streaming or make significant sacrifices in graphics quality to ensure performance and stability. The Nintendo Switch port is currently slated for a July 25 release, but details about its performance are still under wraps.

Unfortunately, the Xbox One and PS4 ports have forgone early access plans, so fans of the game won't be able to get an early start on their magical adventures. However, we'll keep you updated on any future developments regarding the Switch port, including performance reports from early adopters.

For now, it seems that Hogwarts Legacy on PS4 will offer a fun and immersive experience, with exclusive content to sweeten the deal. Whether or not the game can run smoothly on older hardware remains to be seen, but we're excited to find out when it releases later this year.
