Hogwarts Legacy is an action RPG developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games publishing label.[1] The game is set in the overarching world created for the Harry Potter series.
Initially leaked online as early as 2018,[3] Hogwarts Legacy was officially announced in 2020 for an eventual release date of February 10, 2023, following delays, on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Digital Deluxe Edition owners of the game were given access to the game earlier, giving them access to the game three days before the release date.[4]
Following its release, the game was praised for its content by critics and fans alike, but had criticism drawn towards the stuttering and overall performance issues exhibited by the launch version of the game.[5][6] In January, the developers announced that the game will receive an update in Summer 2024 that will add the PlayStation exclusive quest alongside other changes and improvements.[7]

- "Performance-wise, there’s a little to be desired. I’m playing on a 3080 with the graphics preset on ultra, and while quieter areas can see me hit 80fps, wandering around a busy part of Hogwarts or waltzing from shop to shop in Hogsmeade can drop to around 40fps. One particularly egregious occasion was at the Owlery, where I spent my entire time below 20fps, but it fixed itself after leaving. It’s not unplayable, and even without ray tracing the game looks rather lovely, but there’s room for improvement."
