Hogwarts Legacy PS4 Version Delayed to May 2023 | Push Square

Hogwarts Legacy has been available on PS5 for just shy of a month now, and it's been hugely successful so far. However, the fantasy RPG is also due to arrive on last-gen consoles, including PS4. If you're hanging on for that version of the game, you'll be in for a longer wait than expected.
