A Hogwarts Legacy patch is coming to Xbox and PC today, but a PS5 update has been delayed
Avalanche Software plans to release Hogwarts Legacy’s first post-release patch on Tuesday.
The Warner Bros. studio said the update will resolve “a number of bugs and performance issues” on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
A PS5 update was also previously scheduled for release on Tuesday but it has been delayed by a few days.
“PS5 players, due to some unforeseen issues, we’re targeting later this week to get your patch to you,” reads a message posted on the game’s Twitter account.
Chandler Wood, community manager at Avalanche, also said the PS5 patch will include a fix for the ‘Collector’s Edition’ Trophy, which players should earn by completing all collections.
In a private message with a player, Wood reportedly said the PS5 update will “retroactively fix the issue and pop the Trophy for anyone who didn’t get it”.
Hogwarts Legacy, which is based on the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, was released last week amid significant controversy around the publicly-stated views of its author regarding transgender rights.
The game is the subject of a boycott due to multiple public comments from Rowling perceived by many to be transphobic (for a full breakdown of the situation, we recommend this article by Glamour).
Although the author was not involved in the development of the game, critics note that Rowling will likely profit from Hogwarts Legacy and benefit from its popularity.
Hogwarts Legacy will be released for PS4 and Xbox One on April 4, and for Nintendo Switch on July 25.
