Announced for 2021, postponed again and again, it was becoming more of a legend than a project. And then everything changed. On March 17, 2022, PlayStation unveiled a nearly 15-minute State of Play, a video that finally opens the doors to Hogwarts. Hogwarts Legacy was finally released on consoles on February 10, 2023... With the exception of the Nintendo Switch, which saw its release pushed back to November 14, 2023. This game based on theHarry Potter universe takes us on an epic quest, an open-world RPG that fully immerses us in the magical world created by J.K. Rowling.
PlayStation was the first to announce this game, developed by Avalanche. It was they again who released the State of Play on March 17, 2022, whose images were captured on PS5. So gamers soon knew that Hogwarts Legacy would be released on PS4 and PS5.
From the very first announcements about the game, we also knew that this future blockbuster would also be released on the Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC. But on March 18, 2022, a little surprise awaited gamers. Hogwarts Legacy also announced its release on Nintendo Switch: the Japanese console's logo was added to all the official pages and visuals ofAvalanche's project. However, its release date differed from other consoles, as the studio explained on the game's official Twitter account

On December 13, 2022, the suspense finally came to an end: the game's Twitter account revealed the official release dates for each console. Hogwarts Legacy was available from February 10, 2023 on PS5, Xbox X/S and PC. We had to wait until May 5 for PS4 and Xbox One players, and November 14, 2023 for Nintendo Switch wizards.
Hogwarts Legacy now available on PS4 and Xbox One

One question arises, however: an open world, such a vast story and realistic graphics: all these elements were designed to run on big consoles, such as those from Sony and Microsoft. Will Nintendo Switch be able to deliver the same quality of gameplay as its competitors? The answer comes from the players themselves, who got their hands on the opus on the Nintendo console: no open world, but loading screens when entering certain areas (Hogsmeade, certain stores, etc.).
All that remains is for you to discover Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch!
