This will be followed by the PS4 and Xbox One versions on April 4 and the Nintendo Switch version on July 25. Like many new games, however, Hogwarts Legacy has an early access option that lets players start their magical journey three days early.To play during the 72-hour early access of the game, players must pre-order the Digital Deluxe or Xbox Series X/S Edition, depending on their platform.While all three platforms get early access, the Dark Arts Pack, Thestral Mount, Cosmetic Set, and Garrison Hat with the Deluxe version, PlayStation 5 players will be able to get the Felix Felicis Potion Recipe and Haunted Hogsmeade Shop Quest as well, as they’re listed as PlayStation exclusive items.The option to play Hogwarts Legacy three days early is only available on the three aforementioned platforms.

However, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch players shouldn’t lose hope, as the release dates for their platforms are still a ways off.Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most anticipated games of 2023.

An open-world game set in the Wizarding World is what fans of the franchise have been dreaming of for years, especially since the last few releases have been on mobile or as card games.
