Hogwarts Legacy: Should You Preorder It?
The big question Harry Potter fans are probably asking themselves this week is whether or not to pick up Hogwarts Legacy. So, should you? Signs are pointing to yes, absolutely. Based on our Hogwarts Legacy review, this is the the game many Harry Potter fans have been waiting their entire lives to play. It’s an open-world game set at the storied school of Witchcraft and Wizardry that gives you a lot of freedom to roam the grounds, engage in spell combat, and much more.
The standard edition of the game is out February 10, while the deluxe edition, which costs $10 more, is out February 7. If you preorder Hogwarts Legacy today for PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, you can get some extras. Let’s take a look.
Console owners can get a preorder bonus for placing an order prior to launch. If you preorder at Best Buy, you’ll receive a free digital $10 Best Buy gift card when the game ships. It works on both the standard edition and the deluxe edition, though the deluxe edition for PS5 is currently sold out.
If you’re a PC gamer, you can get a nice discount on a Steam code at Green Man Gaming. They have the standard edition on sale for $50.99 and the deluxe edition for $59.49.
Those are the best early deals we’ve found on Hogwarts Legacy. Both offers are well worth doing, since they effectively save you about $10, which is a rare thing these days for upcoming games.
If you don’t have a PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, you’ll have to wait a while before you’ll be able to play Hogwarts Legacy. For details about when it’s coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, check out our full Hogwarts Legacy preorder guide.
