    Harry Potter fans and newcomers to the franchise want to put their hands on this game, as it is an immersive magical universe that is just incredibly gorgeous, detailed, and fun. While the game is the most played Harry Potter game of all time, unfortunately, only some have been able to enjoy it. This is because Hogwarts Legacy is yet to be available on the last generation of PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch consoles.

    This article covers everything related to the upcoming release and details of Hogwarts Legacy on last-gen PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

    Why Should Hogwarts Legacy Should Be Available on Every Platform

    While we already have a recent and modern generation of consoles, last-generation consoles such as PS4 and Xbox One can still stand their ground against their successor and run games of excellent quality.

    Let us use Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End for the PlayStation 4 as an example; a stunning visual masterpiece with countless details and hours of fun. Undoubtedly, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can still provide extraordinary experiences for their owners.

    Hogwarts Legacy Release Date For Last Generation of Consoles

    Owners of the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC gamers can already enjoy the game, which was released on February 10, 2023, with 72 hours of early access given to those who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition.

    Expected Release Dates for Last-Generation Consoles

    Fans of Harry Potter’s Wizarding World don’t have very long to wait to get their hands on Hogwarts Legacy for their last-gen consoles.

    Playstation 4 and Xbox One Release Date of Hogwarts Legacy

    Hogwarts Legacy is expected to be available on April 4, 2023, for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, and Xbox One.

    Hogwarts Legacy Nintendo Switch Release Data

    For the Nintendo Switch, Hogwarts Legacy will be available on July 25th, 2023.

    Playstation 4 & Xbox One Version of Hogwarts Legacy

    While the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Hogwarts Legacy should be identical, PlayStation 4 users can enjoy additional PlayStation-exclusive content.

    • Felix Felicis Potion Recipe
    • Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest

    Does Hogwarts Legacy for The Xbox One Have Exclusive Content?

    Unfortunately, Xbox users won’t have access to exclusive content, but they can still enjoy the base game along with the additions from the Digital Deluxe Edition.

    What Should Hogwarts Legacy do for Last Gen Xbox One, PS4, and Nintentdo Switch Consoles?

    There is no doubt that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are still great consoles, but let us also not forget that both are a decade old and technologically limited compared to their successors.

    The developers of Hogwarts Legacy must maintain unique and equal experiences for all of their players, regardless of which console they are using, and thankfully, it has been confirmed that everything will remain the same.

    Here are some adjustments we consider could improve the experience on the PS4 and Xbox One.

    • Maintain 30 FPS through every area of the game
    • No modifications to the quests
    • Reduce the quality of some visual effects to maintain frames
    • Modify NPC quality and maintain balanced FPS.

    Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch

    The Nintendo Switch is the king of handheld consoles, and having Hogwarts Legacy in it is a must. Just like the Xbox version, Nintendo Switch users won’t be able to enjoy exclusive content other than that included in the Digital Deluxe Edition.

    What Should Hogwarts Legacy do For This Version

    While the Nintendo Switch is one of the most beloved consoles of this era, it comes with severe limitations that can impact the experience if handled poorly.

    The majority of the community considers that the Hogwarts Legacy version should be handled through the Nintendo Switch Cloud system so that the game can be played at a higher quality without affecting its performance. While this is an excellent idea for some, it will be unfortunate for players who do not have access to high-speed internet.

    While it is not official yet, the current cover art for the Nintendo Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy states, “Download required to play.” This indication suggests that the game must be run entirely through the console itself.

    A Great Middle Ground

    A win-win scenario for all Nintendo Switch users is to have the option of running the game through the cloud system or physically; that way, players who want better performance with high-speed internet capabilities can play the game as they would like.

    Nintendo Switch Unique Capabilities

    The Nintendo Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy can have significant advantages over the current console versions.

    Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch could introduce great use of their motion controllers and screen touch system for some of the spells and mini-games.

    Hogwarts Legacy  – Thoughts on Potential Performance Issues on The Nintendo Switch

    It is clear that Hogwarts Legacy is a massive game that a system such as the Nintendo Switch can struggle to run heavily.

    Here is what we think the developers of Hogwarts Legacy should do to maintain excellent performance in the physical version of the Nintendo Switch.

    • Reduce the number of NPCs
    • Lower the quality of NPCs when not being interacted with by the player
    • Lower the quality of the visual effects
    • Reduce the foliage
    • Keep all the side-quests and story missions
    • Loading screens for sections of Hogwarts and other areas
    • Create levels to divide the map and its areas

    These suggestions can help maintain good performance on the Nintendo Switch, preserving the game’s fantastic experience. At the end of the day, we can only hope that the developers do what they deem necessary to ensure an enjoyable experience for their Nintendo Switch players.
